Theft proof deposit container for Pantamera
Since 2011 Pantamera has been collaborating with ski resorts and camping sites. Today's environmentally conscious guests want it to be easy to leave the can or bottle in the right place, for example, before their departures, when they leave their cottages or apartments. Unfortunately, quite much of the deposit is stolen from the deposit igloos. We need to find a secure theft proof deposit container and it has to be made for the outdoor environment.
