Palma town hall is studying a bylaw change that will address the problem of takeaway container litter. The environment councillor and president of the Emaya municipal services agency, Ramon Perpinyà, says that talks are currently being held with businesses and that one option is that fast-food restaurants use returnable containers. An amount would be charged to customers and repaid when the container is returned.

Nice idea but do they genuinely believe pissed tourists are going to stagger back to mickydees to get one euro back.
I am not convinced this idea would work with the lazy littering Tourists. Especially when they are inebriated. These drunken Tourists will pay the price, and not be bothered to return the containers. Plus there could be a queuing problem to buy and then return. However entrenpreneurial people could go around collecting the containers and pocketing the return monies.
