Deposit on plastic bottles

Since the first of July, a deposit on small plastic bottles has been introduced! A 15 cent deposit will be charged per bottle (< 1 litre). This measure should lead to much less plastic litter. Every year, about 900 million small plastic bottles are sold, about 100 million of which end up in the environment. It is estimated that 90% of the plastic bottles, both small and large, will be returned with this deposit system.
