Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method is provided for compressing plastics material containers, having a first holding device which is suitable for holding a first region of a container to be emptied, having a second holding device which is suitable for holding and/or supporting a second region of the container to be emptied, having a movement device which is suitable for moving the first holding device towards the second holding device in order to compress the container located between the first holding device and the second holding device, wherein the first holding device has a cross-section which is smaller than a cross-section of the container to be compressed, so that the first region of the container that is held by the first holding device can be introduced into a further section of the container, thereby forming a fold running circumferentially relative to a longitudinal direction of the container.
