Supermarkets in Finland have machines that take in plastic/glass/cans and read the barcodes and give an amount per item depending on what it is. If it cannot determine what it is then you are credited a fixed amount. The machine then issues a voucher that can be deducted from your shopping. It is pretty slick.
the english govt recently overruled scotlands attempt to introduce machines offering cash for returned plastic bottles and cans to reduce rubbish
there must be some party donor who makes a fortune from our streets being littered with rubbish
