-------------------------------------
Ag
A deposit charge can be a legal obligation (extra fee for recycling purposes). This kind is in many countries applied to both returnable containers of consumer products and to non-returnable packaging, like the aluminum cans of soda cans, or the bottles for beer or wine, plastic bags, etc. Most of the times the whole sum of the deposit charge needs to be passed on by the company that collected it. This process is somewhat to the process regarding VAT.
In this case the deposit product is a non-serialized consumable good, as the company doesn't expect the unique good to be returned.
A deposit charge can also be applied as some kind of rental fee (to ensure that the deposit good is returned to its owner). This is commonly applied to goods with a longer life span and very common in a B2B environment, e.g. pallets, liquid containers, bags for bulk products, etc.
In this case the deposit product is a serialized non-consumable good (e.g. like a rental product), and the company needs to track where it goes
goes to.
