With your first drink, you pay 1 euro environmental contribution for your reusable cup, bottle or can. Take that to the bar when you get a new drink, and you'll get a fresh one without paying again.
Don't feel like lugging it around? Exchange it for an ecotoken at the bar, at an ecoteam or at one of the ecopoints.
Lost it anyway? Then pay 1 euro again with your next drink. At the end of the day, return your cup, bottle or can (or ecotoken) to an ecoteam or an ecopoint.
There is no refund - your contribution ensures that we can wash, reuse or recycle everything neatly. This is how we give the Middle Pond a future as a sustainable party venue.
