Would support the idea of this for quite a few things tbh, encourage recycling things properly. Just see how much plastic bags were reduced with a small fee being added to their price. It doesn't have to be much money if it's not very difficult.

    100%. Deposit systems create a "scavenger class" of people. Imagine a deposit on:

    • Aluminium cans
    • Glass bottles
    • Vapes

    ...and then introduce legislation requiring reusable (and deposit-managed) fast food containers and overnight you've solved a massive part of municipal waste costs.
