They are introducing this in Ireland in 2024. Starting with cans and hard plastic containers. I think it’s a great idea. I do hope they expand it to include glass bottles though.
Coca cola in particular had been lobbying against these systems for decades. People buy less if the cost is higher, so instead they want their dumb packaging to be spread everywhere.

Aren’t you just paying a deposit when you buy the item and then you get that money back when you return the empty bottle or can?
Basically yeah but since it has always been like that it’s never on the mind.
