  I think it’s better the supermarkets pay to keep them in a warehouse than they end up in the ocean. Maybe that will incentivise them to stop wrapping everything in plastic

    Me too. But even if it’s a scam, having to bear the cost of collecting might put pressure on supermarkets to reduce the ridiculously excess plastic packaging of many products. Better than ratepayers having to foot the bill when local council has to dispose of it.
