PETrecycling CZ is non-commercial, independent, free & unsponsored Czech

My closing statement read:
"There is only one real effective and incentive method to encourage
environmentally sound collecting of beverage one-way containers and it is
deposit in combination with High-Tech R&D resulted Reverse Vending

Requiring Danes to pay a deposit on German beverage containers is seen as
good for the economy and the environment.

Danes who drive to Germany to buy beer
and soft drinks to avoid paying
a deposit on the cans will need to stock
up quickly. A new agreement between the two countries will require people
to pay the deposit when bringing cans across the border.
Environment Minister Troels Lund
Poulsen and his German counterpart Sigmar Gabriel signed the
agreement yesterday, finalising a 10-year dispute over the estimated
400 million cans that are carried over the border each year.
Because no deposit is charged on the
cans, people often discard them as regular trash instead of taking them to
a recycling centre.

According to Poulsen, the
agreement is expected to take effect before the end of 2010.
"It’s a huge plus for the environment,"
he said, adding that the agreement will also even the playing field for
Danish retailers. "So I expect it will result in less people going to
Germany to shop."
According to border trade organisation
IGG, the agreement still needs to be fine tuned before it becomes
official.
