The Tennessee Bottle Bill is container-deposit legislation that is proposed. The legislation, if successful, would require a five-cent deposit on beverage containers. Currently the recycling rate in Tennessee is 10 percent and the bottle bill is projected to increase the rate to 80 percent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Bottle Battle )〕 If passed, Tennessee’s bottle bill will cover aluminum cans, glass bottles and plastic bottles of up to two liters, excluding milk, liquor and wine. This would be similar to the items covered by the other 11 participating states. The primary contributor to litter in Tennessee is discarded bottles and cans. During the last three years the three leading container trade groups (Aluminum Association, the Glass Packaging Institute, and the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers) have changed their position and now support bottle bills because of the success of existing bottle bills. ==US states with Container-deposit legislation== According to 2004 U.S. Census Bureau statistics, approximately 30% of the U.S. population currently reside in states or territories with existing container deposit laws. These state laws vary as to the types of containers for which a deposit is required, but generally include glass, metal, and plastic beverage containers.〔(Map with details by U.S state and links to text of laws ), LawServer〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tennessee Bottle Bill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
