The RecyBag collection bin – the official collection container of the RecyPac system
The RecyBag collection bin is the official collection bin for the Switzerland-wide RecyPac plastic collection. Combined with the RecyBag plastic collection bag, it forms the unified solution for the separate collection of plastic packaging and beverage cartons – at home, in the office, in schools, in municipalities and in retail.
Available in four sizes, each in the uniform RecyPac violet (Pantone 266 C) and with the deposit-slot lid of the existing 110-litre bin:
- 17 L · CHF 24.90 excl. VAT
- 35 L · CHF 28.90 excl. VAT
- 60 L · CHF 32.90 excl. VAT
- 110 L · CHF 36.00 excl. VAT
All bins are orderable from 1 unit. Delivery throughout Switzerland usually within 1 to 5 working days.

Formerly «Bring Plastic Back» – now RecyBag by RecyPac
The RecyBag collection bin is the direct successor to the Bring Plastic Back collection bin. In 2025, the Bring Plastic Back system was integrated into the RecyBag system of the RecyPac association – with broader sponsorship, more return points and a Switzerland-wide unified solution for plastic and beverage carton recycling.
If you've been using a Bring Plastic Back bin until now, the RecyBag bin is your direct successor product – with the same collection purpose, in the new uniform design.
Material, design and Swiss production
The RecyBag collection bin is produced by Flyerline in Altnau (TG). Like all Flyerline collection bins, it is made of 3 mm thick fluted polypropylene (PP) sheet and already contains 40% recycled material. It is light, dimensionally stable, weatherproof and 100% recyclable at end of life.
The design is consistently in RecyPac and uses the deposit – a uniform look across all four sizes.
Returning full RecyBags
You return the full RecyBag collection bags to an increasing number of collection points in Swiss retail, in municipalities with a concession and at private recycling centres. The current list of return points can be found continuously updated at recybag.ch.
More background information in the A4 information sheet by RecyPac in DE, FR and IT.
The matching RecyBag plastic collection bags
For the RecyBag bin to fully serve its purpose, you need the matching RecyBag plastic collection bags. These are precisely matched to the bin size and available in our range in the same size – per size as a roll of 10 bags.
