Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to introduce a glass bottle deposit return scheme.
- Answer
-
The Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) for single-use plastic and metal drinks containers in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland will launch in October 2027, which will drive our efforts to stop litter filling up our streets, rivers and oceans.
In England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, glass is not in scope of the scheme.
Glass drinks containers across the UK are included in the scope of the Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging scheme, to make sure it is appropriately and efficiently recycled.
