I'm still flabbergasted that neither France, ~~the Netherlands~~, Switzerland, Austria nor Poland have Pfand (aka a money back deposit thing) for plastic bottles. It's such an integrated part of my life, that I wonder why other countries haven't adopted it.

Netherland got them now on:

  • Beer (crates)
  • Big plastic bottles (±1,5L)
  • Small plastic bottles
  • Aluminium Soda Cans (Newest one)

It's called 'statiegeld' here and we got them as long as I can remember. It's is just recently it also covers the small plastic bottles and soda cans.

Yeah I live in US and there are people around here going around picking out of people's trash for cans and plastic bottles probably to get the few cents that they're worth.

What? I live in the Netherlands and we have had "statiegeld" (pfand) on plastic bottles for as long as I can remember. A couple of months back aluminium cans joined the party.
