25 Apr 2023 --- Another delay to Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) implementation has thrown up concerns around bureaucracy and poor planning and led to calls for Scottish exemption from the UK’s Internal Market Act. The rollout has been delayed for a second time and is now planned for March, 2024. Scheme administrator Circularity Scotland says it was “fully prepared” to launch the scheme on August 16 this year as previously planned, but will continue to support the government’s policy decisions.
