Do we extend this to every single business that sells something? Shall we target everywhere that sells ice lollies coz people drop the wrappers, or any any shop that sells something where the purchaser takes an item out of a bag and discards it once out of the shop?

Litter is the individual person's responsibility.

Are you suggesting the firm trawl the town looking for their empties?
Perhaps some people think it is the car manufacturers who should be fined or imprisoned when a drunk driver kills a child.

We are all equal before the law, and must take responsibilities for our own actions.
