23 Jan 2024 --- Time is running out for businesses to prepare to implement Ireland’s deposit return scheme (DRS), according to Reconomy, an international circular economy specialist providing sustainability technology, data and services to a range of industries. From February 01, consumers will pay a small deposit when they buy a drink in a plastic bottle, aluminum or steel can with the “Re-turn” logo. Upon return of the container — which must be empty and undamaged — to any retail outlet, the deposit will be returned in full.
