The money is irrelevant to me too but I'm pretty sure it'd be an incentive to many and anything that helps get more people reusing/recycling has to be a good thing. I've yet to find anywhere here that refills Ecover bottles, though. <BR/><BR/>@ Neimanmarxist. Whether you take them back or put them in the recycling bin, at least they're not going to the landfill :)<BR/><BR/>@ R.

Definitely agree the system should be revived.

Said you were wise ...<BR/><BR/>There's a shop near us who do refills of Ecover products - 10p off the standard price, which in a way is the same sort of thing as a deposit. <BR/><BR/>The money is irrelevant - it's the not-chucking-away-the-old-one-and-replacing-it-with-a-new-one that attracts me.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600815804658702077noreply@blogger.com
