That's a lot. I suspect that people in Germany are more thorough recyclers than people here.
I'm oly an occasional beer drinker and I don't know what the percentages of glass/deposit vs. plastic/can is.
As for mineral water, the percentage of glass/deposit has gone down a lot in favour of plastic over the past two decades.
Even though a deposit on plastic bottles is due, the return rate is low and the plastic bottles are shreddered, not refilled.
