Introduce a deposit scheme for glass, plastic and cans
Introduce a mandatory 25p deposit on all glass bottles, plastic bottles and aluminium cans sold in the UK.
Litter is a perennial problem in the UK and ourrent recycling levels are far too low. There used to be a deposit scheme on glass bottles in the 1970s and Germany has a similar scheme to the one proposed.
This scheme would have the double benefit of massively reducing littering and incentivise people to recycle.
