 | | The report also found that a return-to-retail deposit system for alcohol beverage containers could cost anywhere from $100,000 to $10 million per year, depending on the assumptions made, with attendant Blue Box savings of $1.4 million. |
 | | It also found that a return-to-depot system for non-alcohol beverage containers would cost between $24 and $80 million, but would result in savings of $1.5 million. |
 | | Other options, including dedicated taxes at the point of sale or levies paid by manufacturers, were assumed to result in renewed investment in the recycling infrastructure and, thus, higher recovery. |
