Sweden Plastic Recycling System & Sustainability

In Sweden, people trudging to the supermarket with their plastic bags full of cans and bottles is a common sight. They insert them into large machines, shiftily look around before ignoring the option of donating the money to charity, press the other button to collect a receipt and take it to the till where it gets refunded.In Sweden, the deposit on the bottles and cans is called pant and the process described above is even a verb, panta, which usually refers to the process of putting bottles in the supermarket’s magic machines. More generally, panta means to hand something in and get money in return (such as for example in a pawnshop). so that i created this video if you want to viewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE6kZOhZvZ8&t=32s
