09 May 2019 --- The Scottish Government has laid out plans for an “ambitious” 20p Deposit-Return Scheme (DRS) that will include aluminum and steel cans, as well as drinks containers made of glass and PET, as part of its plans to combat climate change. The DRS – which is expected to launch in 2021 – is based on “successful international equivalents” and will be widely accessible, with all shops which sell packaged beverages offering deposit refunds to customers. Draft legislation for the new DRS will be published later this year.
