Same story in the Netherlands. They mix and burn most waste, despite segregation. Last year, they introduced a plastic packaging surcharge - which turned out to be a fee directly given to companies, not a tax nor earmarked for green activities. This resulted in widespread outrage since companies started wrapping every single item in plastic just to charge consumers that fee. There was no mandate to provide plastic-free alternatives either. Absolutely bonkers!
