In the letter that Levy sent to the companies, led by Coca Cola Israel, Yapaura and Tempo, it is written: “Following the deposit law and its increase to 1.5 liter bottles, there is a tremendous operation and large resources are allocated for handling the bottles for you.” We have to charge at the end of each quarter according to the amount of sales 2% for the operation of the bottles that require a deposit.”

The offset will start as early as next week. Levy justified the need to collect from the suppliers by the fact that the handling of the beverage containers requires a lot of resources from him such as: assigning workers in the branches for receiving, sorting and storing empty bottles in the branches as well as the costs of equipment for them such as carts, sorting containers, packaging bags and more.

By the way, suppliers who refuse Levy’s demand will demand to collect all the empty drink containers from the chain’s branches, every time they come to deliver goods to those branches. Following the expansion of the deposit law, the retailers claim that they have to deal with a huge volume of empty beverage containers and wait for one of the recycling companies to arrive to collect them.
