Scotland’s drinks deposit return scheme has hit another pothole on its never ending road towards implementation. This latest one coming courtesy of the UK Government is a doozie – and a baffling one at that. What is going on? #DepositReturnScheme #recycling #Scotland

As a consumer, leaving glass out of the #DRS #DepositReturnScheme means that I will have to continue to keep my glass, which I then drive to a location for it to be crushed and recycled. I now have to separately keep my single use cans and plastics, then drive to, most likely a different, place to return them. Possibly I can take them with when I shop, hopefully not mixing in any 'legacy' items.

Sure some people have kerbside glass recycling, but for me, this is more hassle for same result.

2014: "Please stay; together we're stronger in our precious union of equals - and you'll get even more super-duper federal devolved powers."

2023: "F*ck you and f*ck your Deposit Return Scheme!"

The "UK Government haven't agreed to DRS scheme, they've refused the Scottish scheme, a vital component of which is inclusion of glass, as per regulations passed by [the] Scottish Parliament.

"It's their way or the highway, that's not respecting devolution."

APRS and other environmental charities from across the UK have written an open letter urging @rishisunak to urgently grant an exclusion to the Internal Markets Act and include glass in England’s #DepositReturnScheme.

Read the letter in full ➡ https://aprs.scot/press-release/open-letter-deposit-return

Approximately 499,068,504 drinks containers will be littered, landfilled, or incinerated during the delay in the #DepositReturnScheme

Environmental campaigners from APRS and @mcsuk protested outside the UK Government’s headquarters in Scotland.

BREAKING: SNP Leader Yousaf delays Scotland's deposit return scheme delayed from 16th August 2023 until 1st March 2024.

This is ultimately a bad move. Yes it gives companies more time but undoubtedly further delays will occur, especially as the General Election of 2024 approaches.

This weekend I collected another sack of recycling from the nearest through road to my house. I can't wait for Scotland's deposit return scheme to start in August! #recycle #depositreturnscheme

I’m reading reports in the press today that the Greens are leading the SNP Government agenda. Nonsense! Well before I retired from Parliament, way before the SNP/Green partnership, both Deposit Return Scheme and GRR were SNP policies and progressing. I remember chairing the debates!

Waste collection changes risk chaos, councils warn

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64995473

This is long overdue.

Nothing worse than moving from A to B only to find what can & can't be recycled changes.

Also need to bring in the Deposit Return Scheme UK-wide asap. We are so behind the times.

@simon_brooke #AlisterJack is about to continue the desolation and littering of #Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
…only this time it will be with glass and plastic bottles!
#DRS #DepositReturnScheme and #democracy to be trashed by #UK🇬🇧 government.

It was disheartening seeing so many plastic bottles discarded in the park - but it's just a reminder of how badly we need the #DepositReturnScheme ♻️ This will transform the way we recycle and tackle our throwaway culture.

Hi all,

I'm in the early stages of preparing a magazine feature on Scotland's deposit return scheme.

If you make or sell drinks, and Scotland's new scheme will affect you somehow (even if you're not *in* Scotland), then I'd like to hear from you.

Please boost for visibility, thanks!
