Verpact clarifies the number of deposit return points in the Netherlands: registered return points now exceed 10,000

Verpact responded to EenVandaag’s report on deposit return points in the Netherlands, saying it conflated the figures for “locations” and “deposit return points.” As of July 1, 2026, Verpact had registered 9,900 deposit return points, and the number has now grown to more than 10,000. These include supermarket deposit machines; machines at stations and leisure venues; standalone return machines at places such as gas stations; deposit return shops; and staffed return points at sports associations, among other locations.
