The report notes that capture rate includes containers returned for recycling as well as refilling. Separate figures were not so readily available. Unless<br />

specifically listed as something else, the monetary unit is American dollars. The only exception is Canada where the Canadian dollar is used.<br />

Percentages given for US capture rates are taken from various sources, <strong>of</strong>ten telephone conversations by the Bottle Bill researchers. For more detailed<br />
