Industry pain points and difficulties
many European countries have introduced mandatory requirements for the recycling of bottle and can packaging.
What are the requirements for supermarket sellers when implementing these policies?
What pain points do small and medium-sized supermarket sellers face in the process of responding to these policies?
Insufficient recycling rates
lead to ecological and compliance risks
The government has set recycling rate targets, and failure to change public habits to meet these targets will result in penalties.
Inefficient manual recycling
has high costs
Supermarkets need to set up dedicated counters for manual inspection of bottles and cans, which consumes manpower and is prone to errors (e.g., mistakenly accepting non-deposit bottles).
Disorderly recycling affects supermarket operations
Piles of bottles and cans accumulate in trash cans or around supermarkets, increasing cleaning costs and affecting customers’ recognition of the brand’s environmental protection concept.
