it's giga cancer let me tell you
it's not like littering is a huge problem these days
everyone got used to throwing recyclables in a separate bin, that system just worked
not being able to squash cans and bottles is very inconvenient, especially if you live in a flat. you're basically forced to live with trash bags
the machines are glitchy as fuck and can take 2-3 tries to accept a can
there's always a queue
if you want your money back you have to provide a bank account
driving around with a giant bag of stinky, sticky, clanking beer cans is annoying af
it's like the whole thing is designed to inconvenience and humiliate you
FUCKING EU I HATE IT SO MUCH
(although it must be said that the our state was also pushing for a quick implementation because the state owned recycling company hoped it'd decrease their workload [spoilers it didn't])
