<p>Jake, could I ask you to state what country/state you are referring to? These practices are likely to be different across the world. For example, some countries (such as the Netherlands where I am now) have a pseudo-mandatory system where the retailers pretty much have an obligation to facilitate the deposit schemes, but that usually only covers products they sell themselves. So there would be no real need for "brand" or "operator" in NL. Other countries will probably have different systems - maybe they do not charge an extra deposit on the bottles, but still offer a (small) discount when they are returned. Finding a tagging scheme to fit the whole world requires extensive analysis of as many different perspectives as possible.</p>
