Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 25 February 2019.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to include all sizes of plastic bottles in their proposed deposit return scheme.
The Government has confirmed that it will introduce a deposit return scheme (DRS) for drinks containers in England, subject to consultation, aimed at boosting recycling rates and reducing littering.
We are consulting on two options for a DRS relating to size of containers: an ‘all-in’ DRS which would include containers of any size, and an ‘on-the-go’ DRS that would include containers smaller than 750ml. The scope of a DRS, including the size of drinks containers included in such a scheme, will be dependent on the results of the consultation.
