We complain about the lack of bottle dispensers and long queues. What do Poles think about the deposit system?

It turns out that the attitude towards the deposit system is strongly related to political views. Supporters of the Confederation of Freedom and Independence are the most skeptical - as many as 85 percent of them have a negative opinion about the new solution. On the other side of the barricade there are supporters of the Civic Coalition, 67 percent of whom find the system comfortable.

The biggest problems: bottle machines and queues

Storing empty packaging is not the only problem. More than one third of respondents (37 percent) complain about breakdowns and overflow of bottle machines. 28 percent point to the inconvenience of having to carry packaging to return points, and 24 percent point to long lines at vending machines.

Every fifth Pole (20 percent) had problems with returning packaging, even though they were marked as deposit-proof. For 19 percent of respondents, the lack of bottle dispensers in the immediate vicinity is a problem.

Not everyone is complaining

It is worth emphasizing that almost every fifth respondent (18 percent) does not see any inconvenience related to the functioning of the deposit system. Problems such as the lack of charging for returned bottles or the need to provide proof of purchase were indicated by only 3 percent of respondents.

Poles want changes, but not revolution

Despite numerous inconveniences, as many as 39 percent of Poles are in favor of extending the deposit system to additional types of packaging, and 26 percent believe that it should remain in its current form.

This means that 65 percent of respondents are in favor of maintaining the system in its current or extended version. In turn, 30 percent of respondents would like to completely eliminate the system.
