This is 5x the 5cents in California. * Germany has enacted this legislation federally. * The legislation also requires that any retailer that sells plastic bottles (and glass bottles) must also facilitate the return of these bottles. I lived in California for a couple of years. I never saw a recycling machine at any Safeway, Walgreens or even Whole Foods while I was there. The closest thing to a "recycling machine" is the army of homeless people pushing trollies filled with bottles to take to a recycling center. I don't think that really counts.
