The Stock Market Information criticized the bottle return system, stating that on average, 22 bottles are returned at a time, and collecting them, traveling to the bottle return machine, and waiting in line takes a total of 11 minutes. According to the author's calculations, a ton of one-liter bottles is 40 thousand pieces, so their return requires the time of 1,820 people. Altogether, they would spend 20 thousand minutes, which is equivalent to 13 days of life. Previously, as the author wrote, bottles ended up in yellow containers. The Stock Market Information cited data from the Ministry, according to which Poles consume 3 billion bottles annually. Based on this, the author calculated that it corresponds to 75 thousand tons and means nearly a million days dedicated to reclaiming deposits. He described the socio-economic costs as astronomical and criticized the system for taking away time meant for rest, family, friends, and sleep. He blamed several lobbyists for this situation. #recykling #ochronasrodowiska #życie (translated)
