As a child of the 80’s one of my fondest memories was taking back a couple of lemonade bottles to the shop and spending the returns money on fruit pastels’ or 'proper' sized wagon wheels, yes we knew how to live in the 80’s!
Why the returns scheme stopped I will never know, perhaps a drive towards more littering or polluted oceans? But after years or asking and false promises, it looks like the deposit scheme is to be reintroduced, whatever the logic was for not introducing it sooner seems to have been satisfied and children everywhere will be able to experience the joy of spending a few hours to obtain a bag of sweets.
Britain was once at the vanguard of recycling with the deposit scheme first introduced in 1905, if the proposal goes ahead we will become the 39th country to operate the deposit scheme, it is anticipated that between 10p and 30p deposit will be payable on a plastic bottle depending on its size.
At present, around 7 billion plastic bottles sold in Britain are not recycled that compares to 99% recycled in Germany (who have had a scheme for 15 years!), and a shocking 700,000 bottles are littered each day.
Plastic waste is big news and rightly so with so much of it entering the food chain and the impact it is having on the environment, more schemes need to be introduced, since we have been paying for plastic bags the need for bags has dropped by around 80%, we should be in the high 90’s for bottle recycling, but there are objection, the British retailers Consortium has opposed it.
Not only will the scheme have great environmental benefits, it’s hoped that many good causes will benefit from deposits being donated and clean up schemes, but some kids big and small may just opt for the bag of sweets!
