Can deposit scheme returns in Australia

摘要

A can deposit scheme in Australia has been reinstated by authorities, five months after it was first abandoned following pressure from soft drinks manufacturers. The 'cash for cans' scheme involves consumers paying a deposit of 10 Australian cents ($0.10) on each can, which is then refunded when the used can is returned. However, after the Australian Federal Court in March agreed with a legal bid from soft drinks canners Coca-Cola Amatil, Schweppes Australia and Lion, the scheme was pulled.
