Is this audited in any way by authorities? How do you know what has been recycled and what is “virgin” plastic?

That’s definitely the way forward in my opinion. Do people get any incentive to use the deposit system or it’s already ingrained in the culture?

Out of curiosity, how are paper bags more polluting than plastic ones?

Also, from what I have been reading, the problem with plastic is that it’s actually marketed as widely recyclable, but nobody actually recycles plastic as it is too expensive (water bottles, plastic packaging, etc…). Its actually cheaper to produce more plastic than to recycle.

Definitely a step towards the right direction.

Can’t help but think that companies are going to find a way to turn this into profit…

Well, well , well. How the turntables…
