Retail International
BILLA, PENNY, BIPA and ADEG rely on numerous initiatives and partnerships to rescue unsold food. Thousands of tonnes of food are given a second chance in fruit and vegetable bags, at charitable organisations or processed into animal feed. We show how food waste is avoided in Austria and what impact this has on the climate.
Environmental impact costs
The University of Greifswald and Nuremberg Institute of Technology present the evaluation of the "True Costs" project. The aim of the project, to stimulate discussion, was achieved. PENNY donates the additional income of 375,000 euros generated from the campaign week to the Future Builders project.
Packaging Act
At the start of the new year, the one-way deposit will also be extended to plastic bottles for milk and dairy products. Consumers can deposit the empty packaging in the reverse vending machines as usual.
