[GRRN] European Taxes on Recyclable Commodies

[Christine_McCoy@afandpa.org]

Hello All -

I seem to recall some time ago last year there was an announcement regarding a
system in Europe (either Denmark or the Netherlands, I believe) that was
developed for taxing various types of packaging - paper, glass, plastic, etc.  I
believe the system was based on some a LCA that they conducted for various
commodities/material types.  Does anyone remember this?
In any event, if someone does remember and can help me obtain some additional
information that would be terrific.

Thank you for your time and assistance in the matter!

Sincerely,

Christine McCoy
