Elizabeth Card, 10: Rewards help people recycle. One example is a deposit-return scheme(存款返还方案). Customers can pay a small deposit fee on an item. They later return the item when it is empty. They then get their deposit back. And then the item gets recycled. Countries with deposit-return schemes have a higher rate of recycling.
No
