Carrefour has published a very important announcement aimed at customers and stores all over the country, and it would be good to know about it because it is something that is not done very often, or for long periods of time. The message below from Carrefour informs us that in 20 Carrefour stores throughout the country, customers will be able to bring PET bottles to buy Romanian fruits and vegetables with them, an extremely interesting initiative.
Carrefour offers Romanians the opportunity to buy a fruit or a vegetable with each PET they bring to the stores for recycling, so you can go home with enough fruits and vegetables if you bring a lot of bottles. If you have rPET Dorna bottles, then the amount of fruit and vegetables you can take from Carrefour is doubled, so it is worth getting something for the plastic bottles that you would normally throw away.
Carrefour: IMPORTANT Announcement of what it gives for FREE to Romanian Customers
Carrefour says that it does everything in a partnership that it initiated with those from Coca Cola Romania, so that it has in 20 stores in the country a series of special areas where these PETs can be taken for recycling. Carrefour says that this is the third edition in which it collects PETs from Romanians and offers them the opportunity to receive products for free in exchange for them, so it's worth taking advantage of everything to be able to get fruits and vegetables for free.
Carrefour is trying to teach Romanians not to throw away the PETs that must be recycled, but to bring them to its stores, but of course systems should also be made to collect these bottles. In most western European countries there are special machines that take the bottles that can be recycled and offer people various amounts of money, but at Carrefour they chose to offer Romanian fruits and vegetables, one for each PET that is recycled.
Carrefour runs this campaign for only one week, after which you will most likely have to wait for a long period of time until a similar campaign is organized.
