Abstract (en)

A plastics container (1) which, once the liquid contents have been consumed, the body thereof can be collected and then reused, is provided together with a collection system for such a plastics container. The plastics container (1) comprises: a cylindrical shaped closed base plastics container body (2) having an opening (100); a trade mark representation (3) affixed to a surface of the plastics container body (2); an environmental protection mark (4) affixed to a surface of the plastics container body (2) and an environmental protection cooperation organisation representation (10) displayed on a surface of the plastics container body (2) in the vicinity of the environmental protection mark (4). After the contents have been consumed, the plastics container body (2) is collected by a collector, and the basic materials are then directly reclaimed without refuse disposal. The environment protection cooperation organisation representation (10) is displayed sufficiently close to the environmental protection mark (4) as to not cause confusion with the trade mark representation (3) indicating the contents of the plastics container (1), and a product origin representation. Therefore a person dealing with the plastics container (1) will not confuse this with products related to the business of others. Hence support for the product distribution system can be guaranteed. <IMAGE>
