According to the Ministry of the Environment, the price is expected to be four crowns, but the final price will be set by a decree within an amendment to the Packaging Act.<br/> According to the Ministry of the Environment, around 1.8 billion PET bottles and 0.8 billion cans are sold in the country every year. A significant amount of this packaging ends up outside the sorted waste stream, approximately one in five PET bottles. The situation is even worse with cans, with three out of four cans not getting sorted. This deposit-refund system should help to solve that issue.
