That’s what I came here to say. Sooo…we’re going to start seeing environmental fees similar to electronics and tires? They’re not going to be bottle deposits, since we won’t get any money back.
I’d be okay with a deposit system if that means manufacturers used packaging that could actually be re-used (like, say, glass bottles for pop).

But in theory this is fine since it encourages manufacturers to choose easily recycled materials to reduce the final cost of their items. I am not keeping my hopes up that this pans out, but it would be nice to see.

I definitely agree with this however, I think it is extremely short sighted. I know Farm Boy has glass bottles for milk but it is a bit on the expensive side and sadly last time I checked no alternative milks for people with intolerance to lactose.
