CD also means no more littered cans and bottles floating in rivers, lying on streets etc. Would you leave money sitting around on the ground?
CD is also a good way to get people involved in protecting the environment by motivating them to recycle more and litter less. Who Opposes CD? Packaging and bottling companies generally oppose Container Deposits as they fear it will cost them money. As a result of this perception the industry seems to have developed an ideological obsession with combating CD wherever in the world it is proposed. The newly named Packaging Stewardship Forum (PSF) has a long history and is just the latest front group for the beverage and packaging industries. For a detailed briefing on these organizations go here… Formerly titled BIEC, the Beverage Industry Environment Council, and previous to that the Litter Research Association, the industry has also funded Keep Australia Beautiful (KAB). Some state based KAB’s are highly effective and some are simply an extension of the industry. Famously, during the 1970’s, the industry funded the ‘Do the Right Thing’ campaign. We will most of us remember the jingle
