Polish energy drink brand Skolima bypasses deposit system with QR code

A Polish beverage producer has opted out of the national deposit system by using a QR code instead of the required deposit symbol on Skolima energy drinks, linking to the singer's social media. This is the latest in a series of producers circumventing the regulation, raising questions about enforcement and market distortion. The move could set a precedent for other brands and impact the effectiveness of the deposit return scheme.
