Śmieciarze jak śmiecili tak będą smiecić dalej, a normalnym ludziom jak zwykle się oberwało. Poza tym, największym problemem są małpki a jakoś nie ma chęci do objęcia ich podobnym systemem.
This is a good system as it not only gives people an incentive to properly dispose of their rubbish bur even pick up litter.
And Lidl saw it coming years ahead 😀
It was about time, hopefully we will see less 100ml vodka bottles in the grass.
So everyone’s gonna have to start dragging bags of trash all over the city to deposit points. And additionally, any recycling bags put out for collection will be rummaged through. I’m sure this will end well.
Pamiętam za komuny to była normalka.
Ja zanosilam butelki do skupu 40 lat temu, nagle robienie prostej rzeczy okazuje sie “big deal”
let me guess, they will male like 4 automats
My biggest issue with this system is the fact, that the only way you can get the return is in cash. I haven’t had cash on me in over 5 years.
A nonsensical law. There’s no evidence that the system makes economic sense.
According to reports the system will:
-cost 34 bln złoty over ten years
-cost consumers 6.6-10 bln złoty in unclaimed money over ten years
-require consumers to store uncrushed bottles at home, taking up space. It will then force consumers to lug around bottles like homeless people or children
-add to the costs of supermarkets because of manual exchange costs
-will increase the recycling rate of bottles from 77% to 90%, but since these bottles make up <2% of all rubbish the environmental effect will be almost nothing.
I saw how it works in Croatia – total bullshit. Smelly homeless people pick out bottles from public trashcans and line up in supermarkets with huge bags of bottles to get some coin.
I came from future and I will anticipte how it would have been:
– Supermarkets increasing prices of food (Current price + bottle/can tax)
– Machines not working most of the time
– You can only get tickets to spend again in the same supermarket that owns the machine.
Less freedom, less money for the common folk.
Trash avoided in the world? 0.01%
