We used to have this in Slovenia. You’d bring bottles back to the store and they’d deduct from your next purchase. Then some time in the 90s/00s that stopped.

Then some time in the 90s/00s that stopped. Instead we got glass recycling. And 5 other types of recycling. You’re supposed to sort them all and have some 8 trash cans in total at your house.
Oh and if you forget a cap on your bottles or don’t scrape off the paper label and make sure you wash everything before putting it in the trash then you’re a terrible person and you should be ashamed of yourself.
So everyone started throwing everything in the same trash. Making sure your recycling is recyclable is just too much work.
And don’t even get me started on the compostable plastic trash liners that start composting in the trash can so you can’t even take the trash out ...

Same in Poland. I can't think of a better way to sabotage recycling efforts. Whoever introduced this into regulation/common practice, I believe it was intended to actually make people stop segregating trash.
