@clarity @lazerwalker would be even better to see the plastic packaging (including plastic bottles) to be regulated out of existence... like, my tomatoes absolutely don't have to be in this plastic box, and mineral water would be just as fine in a can.
In Germany it's words because the deposit for glass bottles (reusable many times, but very heavy and therefore with large transport footprint) is just 8c, the deposit for cans (almost infinitely recyclable and very lightweight) is 25c, and the deposit for plastic bottles (almost non-recyclable, so the deposit basically only means that they end up in one heap rather than spread all over the city) is the same 25c. A scheme that I suspect was devised by plastic manufacturers to evade responsibility.
