About the scheme

Infinitum’s scheme makes it easy for rescue teams across the country to collect empty bottles and cans – even in areas far from the nearest store. Collection bins are placed in cabin areas and at recreational sites so that more people can return their empty bottles and cans right where they are.

Since 2001, more than 100 rescue teams have participated and collected over NOK 20 million for local initiatives.
