19. Despite sections 17 and 18, any designated management body may, beginning on 1 November 2023, specify a deposit amount for reusable containers that is different from the deposit amount for other types of redeemable containers. It may also modify the deposit amount at any time it determines.
The designated management body must take into account, when specifying or modifying a deposit amount, the anticipated impact on the recovery rates for the containers concerned. It may also take into account the volume of the product commercialized, marketed or otherwise distributed in the type of redeemable containers concerned by the specification or modification.
The amount specified or modified pursuant to the first paragraph must be higher than any other deposit amount in force.
The designated management body must, before specifying or modifying an amount referred to in the first paragraph, consult all the producers that use reusable containers to commercialize, market or other distribute a product.
