The Federal Council may require certain types of waste that are suitable for recovery or that need special treatment to be handed over separately for disposal.
It may require those who put products into circulation that are suitable for recovery or need special treatment:
to accept the return such products back after use;
to charge a minimum deposit and to refund this when the product is returned.
It may arrange for the establishment of a deposit compensation fund and specifically require:
those who put products into circulation on which deposits are paid to pay any surplus from the deposit charges into the compensation fund;
the surplus to be used to cover losses from refunding deposits and to encourage the return of products on which deposits are paid.
