Sure, but let's incentive companies to do that, not individuals.
I recycle all my plastics at home. The grocery store I work in recycles no plastic at all.
Time for the companies to start doing their fair share.
FTA:
That's the requirement to report the production of plastic products by plastics manufacturers, not a requirement for companies to recycle.
It does say retailers (why is it limited only to retail companies?) will be incentivized to recycle. But it doesn't say there any requirement to do so.
Also this article is typical in that it only gives the highest level overview of what the concept is, and doesn't provide any details on how companies would be held accountable.
It also doesn't mention whether there are or will be any exceptions made to these rules for the big companies. Billionaire business owners love lobbying for exceptions, and politicians love giving them out, because they can point to the regulations the made and tell citizens what a great job they're doing while still pleasing their ~~masters~~ donors.
What would you do differently from what was talked about in the article?
It's pretty light on details, but the idea sounds good. It remains to be seen whether the implementation is as effective.
