The Portuguese government has launched a programme to encourage the return of non-reusable plastic bottles: a new bill states that from 1 January 2022 a system for the storage of plastic, glass, ferrous and aluminium beverage containers with a non-reusable deposit will become mandatory. Consumers who deliver plastic beverage containers to large retail outlets will receive a sum determined by the Ministry of the Environment.
