Bottle deposits incentivizes individuals to recycle their used bottles by offering a refund or payment for returning them to a designated location. The goal of bottle redemption programs is to reduce the amount of waste in the environment and promote recycling.
In many jurisdictions such as Connecticut, Connecticut bottle redemption programs are mandatory and require beverage distributors or retailers to charge a deposit fee for each bottle or can sold, which can be refunded when the container is returned to a redemption center.
Bottle redemption programs have proven to be effective in increasing recycling rates and reducing litter in public spaces. They also help conserve natural resources, as recycled bottles can be used to create new containers, reducing the need for new materials to be extracted from the environment.
