While we’re on the subject of plastic packaging:

I want the recent Dutch law on single use plastics to be significantly rewritten.

So they passed a law, requiring sellers to charge people for single use plastic containers. Sounds cool, right? Well, the law has some problems:

  • the seller is allowed to set the surcharge to be as high as they want it to be.
  • the seller may keep the money from the surcharge
  • the seller is not required to offer an alternative
  • the seller can refuse to honour people’s request for them using their own packaging

So effectively, they’ll set the surcharges to be as low as they can, and don’t bother allowing anyone to use alternatives. If you go to a snack bar, ask for a serving of fries, and offer your own bowl to put them in, the seller can just tell you “NOPE”

So I think the law should be retooled to cover these issues. The prices should be set from above, the money should go to the state, and the seller must honour customers’ requests for using their own packaging alternatives.
