Scotland Deposit Return Scheme, momentum grows for the delayed scheme

Scotland will be the first country in the UK to implement a Deposit Return Scheme on the 1st July 2022. The delayed scheme will offer a 20p payment for wine bottles and cans returned.

This week Accolade Wines, one the country's biggest wine suppliers, became a founding partner to the scheme.

If you put your bottles out for recycling you will need to pay an extra 20p per bottle, or make an extra journey to recover the money. It is an awful lot of administration and cost, to increase recycling rates.
