What is Bottle Deposit?
Bottle deposit refers to a system where consumers pay a small deposit when purchasing a product packaged in a container (like a glass bottle), which they can reclaim upon returning the empty container. This system encourages recycling and reduces environmental impact by incentivizing consumers to return empty containers rather than discarding them.
