After reading an article in WIRED on RFID tags it hits me. If those are going to be in all the products sold in stores, they will be in all the garbage too (after all they are embedded in the products packaging).
The consequences are huge. Municipalities could actually charge manufactures based on the percentage of packaging in the garbage - an enormous incentive to reduce packaging (ok, this follows the German model of the 'grüne Punkt').
