Every Bottle Helps – Making Sustainability and Solidarity Simple
Every Bottle Helps is more than a slogan – it’s a movement for respect, sustainability, and real solidarity. The idea is simple: if you’ve finished your drink, don’t toss the bottle or can in the trash – place it next to the trash so it can be picked up easily. This way, people who collect deposits can get them without having to dig through waste, turning empty bottles into real help.
For some, a bottle deposit is just spare change – for others, it can mean a warm meal or vital daily essentials. Every year, millions of bottles are thrown away, wasting valuable resources and potential income for people who need it most. Every Bottle Helps reminds us: with one small gesture, you can support both the environment and your community.
Through events, partnerships, and creative campaigns, we’re making it easy for everyone to join in. Whether in the park, on the street, or at an event – every bottle placed where it can be reused makes a difference.
Every Bottle Helps at Festivals – The Deposit House
At festivals, the idea is especially powerful. Thousands of people come together, and with them come thousands of bottles and cans. Without action, much of that deposit value ends up as litter – lost to the environment and to people who could benefit from it.
That’s why we created the Deposit House – a central drop-off point for empty bottles and cans.
Here’s how it works:
- Festivalgoers bring their bottles and cans to the Deposit House instead of leaving them on the ground or throwing them away.
- The collected deposits are donated to social projects that help people in need.
- The festival site stays cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone.
Often designed as a House or a creative installation, it is a place where sustainability and solidarity meet. It’s not just about giving back – it’s about being part of a movement that turns simple actions into real impact.
Why It Matters
The Deposit House brings together three key goals:
- Protecting the environment – less litter, less waste of resources.
- Helping people – deposits go to those who truly need them.
- Building community – proving that small acts can have big results.
On a festival site, the difference is visible. Thousands of small contributions add up to real change – and real support for social causes.
It’s easy to take part. Because every single bottle counts.
