The whole Hungarian recycling system has to be reorganized, following overflowing bins,
00:07
long queues and many, many disappointed consumers, who should be refunded 13 cents for each empty
00:14
drink container returned. As 3.5 million bottles are thrown into the machines every day, which
00:20
is far more than the designed capacity. While the company Mohumol has admitted to the problem,
00:26
their customers are unsatisfied.
00:44
Other problems include the machine not recognizing bottles or the return app failing to scan.
00:50
Vendors must regularly empty the machines, the manufacturer handles failure and Mohu
00:55
is blamed for the lack of repoints nationwide. Mohu said they are planning to revamp the system.
01:02
Hungary has just one year left to reach the EU target of nearly 6.5 million bottles per day.
