Italy campaigns for national Deposit Return System
The Association Comuni Virtuosi, along with a group of non-government organizations are campaigning for a national Deposit Return System (DRS) to reduce plastic beverage bottles, the most-littered items found during cleanups and studies. The group is calling for a DRS where a small deposit is added to the price of beverage containers, which would be refunded when the consumer returns the container to a collection point. Read how Italy’s proposed DRS would be mandatory for all producers and cover all types of beverage containers on a national level.
