The violation occurred between April 1 and April 11, 2023, when Heineken filled more than 7.2 million cans without the deposit logo and released them to the market, despite the legal requirement already being in effect.
The OM said Heineken failed to meet its legal obligations. The agency noted that the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) had repeatedly informed beverage producers, including Heineken, starting in September 2022 about the upcoming deposit requirement.
