npub1ast9m4wmght7r3gz5v753tnncjm0pfjekjfpvytats9fmws3dewsx3tzal (npub1ast…tzal) and VAT is a fairly easy mechanism which is well understood by both producers and consumers. Furthermore, this policy would be more of a threat than an actual practice, because manufacturers would move very swiftly to modify their packaging to avoid these surcharges – which is exactly what's needed.
I'm not proposing this as a source of government revenue, but as a powerful driver for rapid change.
