33 billion gifts get MOHU from unchanged bottles
Due to the advantageous regulations, Mohu had a revenue of HUF 33 billion from the $ 50 deposit fee of unbeaten bottles. This money must be spent on the collection system by the company. Even with this huge extra revenue, MOHU has recorded a loss of $ 50 billion.
Hungary is the only place in Europe where the waste handler does not receive the redemption fee after the amount collected, but at the time of the market. With this method, MOL’s subsidiary gets his money before the assignment. MOHU is therefore Each returned bottle wins gross 50 forints he says from the article of free Europe.
According to MOHU MOL Waste Management Ltd., the company last year, from the fact that many did not replace the deposit bottle was revenue of HUF 32.9 billion. In its report, MOHU writes that « unbeaten bottles are accounted for as other revenue. »
Mohu is already getting the money in advance
Many settlements cannot even reproduce the glasses and Mohu is not interested in the financial means to increase the redemption points (repont) He doesn’t get the money for the returned bottles, but for all of them. As a result, the more bottles we do not replace, the greater the revenue for which there is no redemption cost.
An article in Free Europe recalls that the Hungarian model is very different from the redemption systems introduced in other EU Member States in two things: a profit -oriented company instead of a non -profit, which is not paid at the end of the process, but at the beginning, because it is paid by manufacturers.
Free Europe describes a preliminary analysis that has already estimated how many bottles they will not be redeemed and almost hit. He estimated the amount remaining at MOHU at HUF 36 billion.

The state also mows on unbeaten bottles
In the end, the $ 32.9 billion in Mohu is a net amount, as the $ 50 deposit is gross, with the state to pay the VAT, so about 800 million bottles were not replaced last year.
The IFUA, which created an estimate analysis, indicated a 48 percent reduction rate for 2024. This year, he expects the redemption rate to be 77 percent, but will still remain more than HUF 30 billion than MOHU. By law, Mohu must spend this money to increase the efficiency of the redemption system. According to an article in Free Europe in December last year, there were nearly three hundred settlements where, according to legislation, the redemption points of Mohu should be operating, but it has not yet been.
