20 July 2023 --- A UK town will roll out a 12-week digital deposit return scheme (DDRS) designed to test how the technology could encourage recycling. As the “world-first” full-town DDRS trial, the Welsh town of Brecon has dubbed the project Scan Recycle Reward. Wales reportedly boasts relatively high recycling rates, and a full DRS is expected to be implemented in 2025. The country is now trialing DDRS to boost on-the-go recycling to decrease landfill waste.
