26 Jan 2023 --- The UK Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is planning to roll out a deposit return scheme (DRS) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is set to be introduced in 2025, following extensive work with the industry to prepare for the necessary changes – including setting up infrastructure and amending labeling. While British Glass supports excluding glass from the future scheme, several environmental organizations have criticized the move by saying the government is “making a mockery of the pledge.”
