The new recycling system

There is no guarantee the machine will not reject your empties.

The advice then is to contact re-turn.

I imagine they will travel to your home collect your empties and give you your money back.

My final word on this issue is that if any shop charges me a deposit on an out of scope container I'll take it up with them.

The shop hasn't got your deposit.

Re-Turn have.

You might as well go and have a final word with a traffic cone, it will be the same net effect.

The literal CEOs advice is to contact re-turn.

i took a look at my miss shelf in bathroom, and i can tell you now, that will shorten everyone`s life in future for day or two.

so, what about all those cosmetic bottles, with plastic to content ratio of 2:3

they easily takes up 3rd of plastic problem

Re-turn is making recycling sexy for everyone! Don't ruin the buzz with your talk of reuse and reduce!!

Melting down plastic that was used only once to mix with the same quantity of virgin plastic that has never been used before, and repeating the cycle is the circular way-forward here, my friend.

Is there a difference in the RVM barcodes accepted by each store? I had two cans in a pack of 4. Tested one in Aldi and one in the local centra. Accepted in the Aldi yesterday but declined in Centra today!

I got an online order from Supervalu containing 18 cans of 7up free and a dozen 500ml bottled water and again no tax charged on them as old stock.

Or just mandate that for a deposit to be charged it has to have a logo, to hell with these international barcodes which have caused all this confusion because they're allowed to be used now and after they add logos to the containers. If re-turn have the power to mandate they all need logos from June 1st they have the power to mandate that they need new barcodes then too.

Exactly right.

Imagine, they WANT people to store their waste, the WANT people to 'bring it back' to an RVM, not use their bin, they WANT people to get money back when they do, they WANT the kudos from this new way to recycle.

They want this change in behaviour, but obviously what they wanted EVEN MORE is to make sure they didn't lose any deposits.

As I said previously, they should have provided a launch chest of funds to allow for one off negative deposits so that the scheme worked smoothly from day 1. Same could have been achieved with a trial period (no deposit charged, with small say 5c deposit returned to enable mass familiarisation for say 1 month prior to full launch).

Was talking to one of the girls in the shop earlier. She reckons the machines have to be left switched on all night or they will lose all their data.

Very green 🙄.

They’d consume very very little compared to the giant store they’re sitting in.

well yes there's that also. but when one looks at the grand scheme of things and takes all of the little things into account alongside the big things, one can see this is more about money and getting the stats for EU, than it is actually about helping the environment.

at the end of the day to the average person who already recycles in their green bin at home for years, this is just seen as another green tax.

i hear the excuse of "making streets cleaner" as an answer to the whole discarded can's and bottle thing, if they really cared about this side of things they should allow damaged cans to be redeemable too in the RVMs, atleast give 5-10 cent or something back, aslong as the logo can be indentified then there's no green reason they should be holding out on giving a deposit back. Its helping them reach their goal while giving people incentive to tidy the streets at the same time.

Where does it say we’re surpassing aluminium targets? We are not. That’s why it’s included.

FIFA and UEFA are not for profits. Pull the other one if you think no one is making money out of them.
