> Other than criminal enforcement, I'm not sure how you'd meaningfully change the incentives for someone who is willing to throw a £5 electrical device in the gutter because they can't be bothered to take it home, recharge it and refill it with £0.20 worth of liquid.
Here in Denmark we are forced to pay a small deposit when buying bottles/cans of beverages, which is returned (in cash) when you return the bottle. The consequence is that you find zero beverage bottles lying around, since they’re collected and redeemed.
If we put a, say, similar $10 deposit on these vapes, I think we’d see the same effect here. One problem is that they’re smaller, so they’re harder to find for collectors.
