France to bring back glass bottle deposits
Briefly

France is launching a pilot scheme in four regions that incentivizes consumers to return glass bottles and jars for recycling. Participants receive deposits ranging from 10 to 20 centimes for each returned container. This initiative seeks to enhance the country's recycling rates, recalling a past time when similar practices were prevalent. Bottles designated for return will feature identifiable stickers and can be returned at various participating stores without requiring proof of purchase. The scheme is set to run for 18 months, potentially expanding nationwide if successful.
