Dutch Plan to Recycle Milk Bottles | Amsterdam News

The Dutch government is pushing to include plastic milk and juice bottles in its deposit return system to hit a 90% recycling target—facing possible EU penalties if they fail. Supermarkets worry about hygiene risks like odors and pests, citing research, but the government insists safeguards will be in place. They’re expanding return points and introducing bulk machines to ease collection. Verpact, the current system operator, is under pressure to speed up returns and launch a dairy-specific plan by September—all to avoid stricter EU rules and boost recycling.
