| dc.description.abstract | This report examines whether a bottle deposit law is a feasible way to increase Wisconsin?s recovery of recyclable beverage containers, which, in turn, benefits the environment. Each of the 11 states with bottle deposit laws has a significantly higher recovery rate than Wisconsin. This report analyzes the most pertinent features a Wisconsin deposit law should have and recommends that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources assess whether recent changes in recycling practices have increased Wisconsin?s recovery rate before pursuing enactment of a deposit law. | en |
