When in Portugal? This European country gave up on a system similar to Volta and there are several reasons

France abandoned plans to implement a mandatory national deposit and refund system for plastic bottles, similar to the Portuguese Volta, opting to allow each region to develop its own collection solutions. The decision, announced after three months of meetings with municipalities, companies and recycling operators, came in part due to opposition from city councils, which feared losing revenue from investments made in sorting centers and recycling points, in addition to contesting the so-called "monetization of waste." In Portugal, the Volta system remains operational since April, despite reported difficulties, with the Government announcing increased enforcement and more machines to address problems of full equipment and demand for packaging at recycling points.
