Berlin - Following a decision by Coca-Cola to increase its use of disposable bottles in Germany, the Federal Environment Agency said on Sunday it might impose a tax to discourage their use.
"We are not excluding an additional charge on disposable bottles to support the bottle re-use scheme," agency president Maria Krautzberger told dpa.
Coca-Cola said recently that it intends to increase its use of disposable 0.5 and 1.5-litre bottles, which will be made of recyclable material.
