Tax system is very easy and effective. If you introduce a measure like this which then creates a cultural shift, you get people to start thinking general issues like how to reduce packaging, waste and so on. I think this is very simple and effective measure with no obvious drawbacks. And the evidence in Ireland seems to be that it has got people to think about wastage and it has helped to get awareness for green issues.
