The new recycling system

It is a mystery, this is styled to catch on the go litter.

Do many people walk around drinking out of 2 or 3 litre bottle?

I very much doubt it.

That's the one.

7.49 down from 10.

Confirmed by the helpful staff member stocking the wine whilst I was there.

Someone is wrong, but it certainly isn't me.

👍️

No i didn't.

I gave you my factual experience from going into Lidl this morning.

It was you who said I was wrong.

I'm not.

Like I said it could have priced wrong in store.

But again, I doubt anyone else cares, so move on.

Proof?

Provided several times already.

Specific targets include

• a 77% separate collection target for plastic bottles by 2025 – increasing to 90% by 2029
• incorporating 25% of recycled plastic in PET beverage bottles from 2025, and 30% in all plastic beverage bottles from 2030

Another DRS scheme, but one where they actually reward people, and accept all cans not just ones with their logo on it. More importantly one where the cost is not footed to the customer. Or making all shops reduce their item by 15-25c to make up for the price of the deposit.

A SOLUTION: maybe they should have a small mini separate bin/machine next to the RVM, a machine that accepts damaged/broken/flattened cans, does not need any barcode visible, and instead pays out by weight. So if a can is damaged to the point that getting a deposit back is obviously impossible, then not all hope/money is lost. The small mini-machine can have something built into it that tests the metal, weighs it, and then pays out a fraction of a deposit for the damaged cans. like lets say you have x2 cans that would have gotten you 20c back normally if not damaged, well this new idea mini machine thingy still gives you back 5c for each of those. How does that sound? alot of people would like this i imagine.

You seem to flip flop on this.

Time is money. I’m not going out of my way for a few cent. I’m already doing the right thing by recycling the items.

I plan on black binning everything. No point in paying for 3 bins when 1 will do.

i like that! i'm determined to use them as much as possible. BUT i'm also determined to pay as close to no deposits as possible.

i'm more aiming for free deposit redeems from other peoples cans who have no desire to go all the way to the RVMs. nice little earner ;)

and keeping my ears to the ground and keeping an eye out for any others that come my way. Is there any guisnuess world records out there for most RVM deposit redeems in a single visit? and does this scheme have the deposits capped? i recall the other DRS schemes that offere insote vouchers had it capped at €2 being the most a person can redeem at any givin transaction.

i have'nt a clue, but i spent a while looking at 2 massive ones inside of a big supermarket franchise the other day, and both was left powered on with a green lights inside, and 2 touch screen looking digital screens that said something like "currently not in use, please come back febuary 1st" and a big giant red X. No idea why they was even left on if they're not even gonna be in use till atleast another 2 weeks.

If anything i'm guessing these big businuess don't care about wasting electric per say, because they probebly have a bill that comes in where they pay a set amount per month, usually always the same set amount regardless of usage. Buinsuess pay electric costs differently than domestic home users which is weird.

Alot of energy and environment waste also comes down to big business part they play. Some of them may opt for cheaper packaging (i believe for pr reasons and to make it look like they care but really its just because it costs less) but with this electric example, and other things like manufacturing, do they really care?

Aslong as they pay their "green tax" they can continue polluting. Essentially its profiting off of their pollution, by taxing it. Some intentionally choose to pay this tax instead of refusing to pollute, because more money (what they really care about).
