deposit return

Deposit return is a system where consumers pay an extra small fee when purchasing items like bottles or cans, which is refunded when they return the empty container. This encourages recycling and reduces waste, as people are motivated to bring back containers to reclaim their deposit. It helps keep the environment cleaner by promoting proper disposal and reuse of packaging, ultimately reducing landfill and pollution. This system is effective for increasing recycling rates and conserving resources while providing a simple financial incentive for responsible disposal.
