The Deposit Return Form is a crucial document in the Netherlands' deposit-return system (statiegeld), designed to facilitate the return of deposits on beverage containers. This form is used when customers return eligible containers to retail locations, collection points, or recycling facilities, documenting the transaction and ensuring proper refund of deposits. It complies with Dutch regulations including the Deposit Return System Decree and Packaging Management Decree 2014, while adhering to consumer protection laws. The form captures essential information including customer details, types and quantities of returned items, deposit values, and verification of return condition. It serves multiple purposes: providing customers with proof of return, enabling businesses to track returns for inventory and accounting purposes, and maintaining records for regulatory compliance. The document is particularly relevant in the context of the Netherlands' expanded deposit-return system, which now includes various types of beverage containers.

1. Customer Information: Basic details of the person/entity returning the items (name, contact information)
