This would be a godsend, but also I hope it’s not too much to ask to make them aesthetic?
They did one in Hungary, it’s shit. Half the automats don’t work, and some just refuse some bottles for no reason at all.
And we don’t even talk about how many small towns don’t have any. So they can’t even reasonably do this.
Only to have it’s operation sold to MOL, so they get all the money from unreturned bottles.
I would be all for a working system, but it does not work properly here.
Wow, Poland has truly entered the 21st century by 2025.
Despite all the online whining on certain Irish forums, the launch of it over here in 2024 has gone pretty smoothly, with decent uptake.
Starting to see a few of the bulk machines appearing too, so you can finally just throw in a full bag of bottles and let it do the handling.
Call Sweden if there are any questions.
We have one in Romania since about two years ago. The good thing is it works. Close to 80% of bottles get recovered nowadays. The bad part is the machines are always filthy, since many people don’t bother draining contents completely. As I’ve seen them, the Poles would do naturally better at keeping it tidy.
We’ve been doing this in NY since 1982. Welcome to the free homeless street cleaning club.
Romania is doing it since 1-2 years ago. Good for the environment but terrible for people, last time I’ve waited for more than an hour to get my turn to deposit the bottles and get my ticket. The machines are always crowded, they stop very often and need a technician to start again, some bottles and cans are not recognized by machines and you can’t recover your money. Hope Poland will do it better!
Total waste. A tax dressed up in a green costume.Gesture politics at its best (worst).
Wait what, this isn’t normal everywhere? In Finland it has been around at least since 90s and every store has at least one machine.
Best thing is some machines you can just pour like 100 cans and it processes them in like a minute.
Its fine if there is enough machines and that they are not broken every 5 min…. in Slovakia we have this for some time, end people tend to safe a lot of empty bootless and go for shopping with full bags and Tesco is famous to have two machines and both broken all the damn time, or one broke and when you come to the next it breaks too 😀 its mostly because the back end is getting full and staff take it sweet time to clean it up…
Am Norwegian.
I thought this was normal on Europe in general?
I don’t understand why this isn’t already in every EU country, there should be some kind of law to make these necessary. In Finland the bottle deposit systems work really well and less people are throwing bottles on the ground, and even if they do someone will pick it up and make some money.
NORWAY HAVE IT IT WORKS
In Austria they introduced it earlier this year. I am sure they gonna improve the handling of it but so far I only heard bad things about it.
It really helped my social circle to get off canned sugary drinks because it just doesn’t work.
Machines are dirty and disgusting I am told (I never seen one) and some shops take returns some don’t (I know bc I was confused when the shop I bought sparkling water from refused to take the empty bottle back) so I think it does what it’s supposed to.
I haven’t bought any drink in one of these deposit cans for months, I carry my reusable bottle with me at all times and refill it with water, that’s it.
All our tab water is drinkable and tastes nicely in most places.
Thanks for the deposit stuff, my family and friends shed many addictions this way.
It’s worth it. Looks like 97% of containers with deposit were returned in 2023 here in Finland.
Not many loose bottles or cans around when people have incentive to pick them up.
Now if all trash could be recycled for money, then we’d be clean in no time.
Seems like a good initiative
We should adopt something similar
Welcome to 1990
Finland and the nordics have had this for ages. It’s certainly a good incentive to recycle when some money is involved. I wish we’d do this kind of recycling with other single use plastic items too.
Like, for example the little plastic containers microwave food comes in
Just 40 years late. It’s great.
I really hope France will implement this soon at a national level, because it’s very convenient. But seemingly, some people/institutions earn too much with the current system (all the bottles and cans going to trash) so there is no will to implement the deposit system at a large scale.
