SVG map of countries in Europe that have container-deposit legislation (CDL), also known as a container-deposit scheme (CDS). Beverage containers such as bottles and cans made out of glass, plastic or metal are charged a container deposit (or 'bottle bill') that can be refunded upon returning the container to the manufacturer, usually through a reverse vending machine. CDL seeks to minimise waste dumping and make recycling more efficient by rewarding consumers who return used beverage containers.
