You realize Irelands deposit scheme has little to do with the EUs decision to connect caps to bottles, do you?
The main reason was indeed the statistical one (turning to pieces of trash into one).
Not saying it's a bad thing, I'm actually all for it and find it laughable, when people claim they can't use bottles anymore. But let's not overstate the bottlecap-thing.
If the EU actually wanted to do something about plastic waste, they'd push towards glass bottles.

@s10n@mastodon.social @matt@oslo.town @aral@mastodon.ar.al Do you ever bother doing any research? There's plenty of information online if you'd care to inform yourself instead of making petty snarks and jibes about greenwashing https://www.packaging-gateway.com/news/deposit-return-schemes-in-focus-as-europe-tightens-rules/ www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0921344924005536 You're muted now. Bye.
