For 10 years, passengers have been able to donate their beverage bottles before passing through security. The proceeds from the donations are used to finance jobs for the long-term unemployed, who empty the donation bins and sort the empty bottles, among other things.
To date, 3 million bottles have been donated, generating deposit proceeds of almost €740,000. The airport is collaborating on the ‘Spende Dein Pfand’ (Donate Your Deposit) project with JobWerk Porz and the recycling company ‘Der Grüne Punkt’.
