Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how glass containers subject to a 0p deposit under the Deposit Return Scheme in Wales between 2027-2031 will be identified as (a) separate to packaging obligated for Extended Producer Responsibility in the rest of the UK.
- Answer
-
Following the launch of the DRS in Wales in October 2027, glass drinks in scope of DRS sold into Wales will fall out of the packaging EPR system and no longer have household recycling fee obligations. Instead, they will be captured by the Welsh Government’s DRS regulations. PackUK is working closely with the Welsh Government to confirm processes and enable producers to report materials into the correct scheme.
