The countdown continues...

Scotland’s deposit returns scheme (DRS) starts on 1st March 2024.

That’s when retailers will do their bit for recycling and reducing litter by collecting cans and bottles from consumers and paying out deposits.

And now retailers will receive 3.7p for the first 8,000 containers collected per week using a reverse vending machine (RVM).

TOMRA already provides 7 out of 10 of the RVMs used across the world today.

As well as o ering a range of machines for di erent environments and spaces, we provide digital cloud-based tools and service technicians to keep everything running smoothly.

How does the Deposit Return Scheme work?

DRS involves shoppers paying 20p extra – the deposit – for drinks sold in plastic bottles, cans or glass bottles. Putting a deposit on drinks encourages everyone to bring them back to places like local shops and supermarkets. Like consumers, retailers and wholesalers pay the deposit, then receive it back.
