The article mentions the Bottle Bill system: this is a system where you pay a small deposit on every bottle you buy which is then refunded when you return the bottle to the supermarket.<p>This results in the bottles being recycled.<p>We have this system here in The Netherlands and I must say it&#x27;s fantastic: we get proper thick Coke bottles and my bin doesn&#x27;t get filled up so quickly.<p>Sadly this system isn&#x27;t used for all bottles - 500ml bottles aren&#x27;t covered - and it&#x27;s only drinks (soft drinks + beer). It&#x27;s also far from Europe-wide - the UK for example doesn&#x27;t have this system.<p>Recently the soft-drink manufacturers - presumably Coke&#x2F;Pepsi - have been lobbying hard to kill this system.. Nice to see how they care about the environment..
