Deposit Scheme for Drinks Containers (England and Northern Ireland) Regulations 2024Contribution
The decision of Wales to continue alone is causing some concerns within the industry, which does not believe that a seamless scheme can progress if Wales is not included. I share those concerns but am more concerned that glass has been excluded from the scheme that will operate in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is difficult to understand, given that glass was one of the first household items to be considered for recycling and that consumers embraced this concept from the beginning.
