No Deposit No Return

I have just read on Coca Cola bottle 'No Deposit No Return'. What does this mean?
  

Top answer

In some countries, you pay a small amount of money for the bottle that the drink comes in (called a deposit), and you get the money back when you return the empty bottle to the store. The idea is that the bottle will be cleaned and reused. If the bottle has this on it, it cannot be used in this kind of program.
