    Identifying "foreign" Containers

    Destoying the "foreign" containers sounds good. But with the current machines, they have difficulties already identifying valid cans. People are going to get irate when they have the machine mis-read a good container, call it a "foreign" container. The requirement of 85% of the "foreign" containers does not put any requirement on the reading of valid containers. I believe that the manufacturers of the reverse-vending machines will be overly zelous in calling containers "foreign" and destroy them without compensation in order to acheive the 85% rate. Note that an 85 percent rate amounts to one can in every 6-pack to be improperly identified.
