Dutch minister says deposit lottery may be unnecessary under planned deposit-system expansion
Dutch Climate and Green Growth Minister Stientje van Veldhoven-van der Meer said a deposit lottery may not be needed to meet recycling targets if the government expands the statutory deposit system. She said Verpact chose to launch the lottery independently of the ministry and that she would discuss the Trimbos Institute’s advice with the organisation.
Verpact and the lottery’s licence holder may need to consider the minister’s position and the planned statutory system changes.
