For metal, glass and plastic beverage packaging is concerned, a separate deposit/return system applies,6 whereby the consumer may deliver free of charge empty beverage bottles (both glass and plastic) and cans for recycling. It is organized by the producers and importers of beverage, in cooperation with the distributors. The deposit rate is determined by the SPCA (at present at 1 NOK for small and 2,50 NOK for big bottles). In addition, beverage packaging is subject to a basic charge which stimulates reuse, and a state environmental charge which is being reduced according to the increase in the return rate. Today, the target of 95% return of the beverage packaging has been reached, and no charges are paid.
