Stores and retailers in Sweden play a key role in the Swedish deposit system, and the
efficiency of the deposit system is based on the stores’ commitment and accessibility. The
Deposit Store of the Year competition draws attention to stores throughout Sweden that
are going the extra mile to get more people to use the deposit system more.

“You might think that the idea of using the deposit system is something that people just take for granted. But the Deposit Store of the Year competition shows that this involves a level of commitment. People right across the country take the time to nominate their stores and the work they do in respect of fresh deposit spaces, smart reverse vending machines and good treatment,” says Lil Berger, Project Manager for Pantamera at Returpack.

Five stores in Sweden have been awarded the distinction Deposit Store of the Year 2023: ICA Nära Skansen in Mörbylånga is the Bravest Deposit Store of the Year; ICA Supermarket Spara in Uddevalla is the Proudest Deposit Store of the Year; Maxi ICA Stormarknad in Östersund is the Most Diligent Deposit Store of the Year; Norråkers Handel in Norråker is the Most Valuable Deposit Store of the Year; and the Eurocash chain, which has stores in towns that enjoy extensive border trade with Norway, is the Smartest Deposit Store of the Year.

The winning stores have been able to select the charitable cause to which they want to donate the prize of SEK 20,000 per store. In 2023, the winners decided to donate money to the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation, Save the Children, SOS Children’s Villages and the Lions Club in Mörbylånga.

The Deposit Store of the Year competition was launched in 2019.
