The last date to pledge cans before the money

The deposit on tomb jars was already introduced in 1984, and quickly became a successful project.

– Sweden’s deposit system is world-leading, because consumers know that making a deposit makes a difference to the environment and the climate, says Tomas KjellkerCEO of Returpack/Pantamera in a press release.

The new prices – this is how much the deposit will be raised in 2025

In the days announced Pantamera that the deposit on cans and bottles will be increased during 2025. The deposit will be increased by one kroner per package.

The new prices that apply are as follows:

  • Small PET bottles (less than one litre): Raised from SEK 1 to SEK 2
  • Cans: Raised from 1 kroner to 2 kroner
  • Large PET bottles (larger than one litre): Raised from SEK 2 to SEK 3

    • “The deposit is raised on all packaging”, confirms Sara Barthelson Riismarkcommunications manager at Returpack/Pantamera in a comment to News24.

    What happens to your old mortgage?

    New cans and bottles with the new deposit amount will only be available in September 2025 – and only these will be covered by the higher deposit.

    Your old tomb jars will therefore not be worth more, but the sum stated on the packaging is the one that will be paid back.

    On its website lists Pantamera the requirements to get back the deposit on your can or bottle:

  • It must be part of the Swedish pledge system, look for the pledge mark.
  • It must have an undamaged and readable EAN code (all approved codes are registered in the register of the machine, the register is continuously updated).
  • It must have a complete package, i.e. not flattened (then it does not meet the correct dimensions).
  • The article must be active. A bottle or jar gives a deposit for two years after the sale of the product has ceased.

    • They also confirm that the same rules apply to cans and bottles with the old deposit amount. They must be pledged within two years of the last date of sale.

    The old cans will stop being sold in September 2025, and will thus be able to be pawned until September 2027.
