In belgium f.e. legislation has choosen for a different approach.
When you take it back (the green dot system) refilling is not obliged.
Nevertheless, refillable glass bottles are still widely used all over
europe, even by Coca-cola.
The problem we have with this company is that they are selling slot-machines
with cans as sweet bread. Those cans give a lot of pollution and recycling
(?) has to be paid by local authorities.
It isn't very fair but Coca-cola is competing their own green alternative
(refilling) out of market. And they are very well aware of it.
