Please find below our response to the Welsh Government’s announcement on DRS. Their announcement can be found here: A Deposit Return Scheme that delivers for Wales | GOV.WALES
Emma McClarkin, CEO of the British Beer and Association, said: “Our preference has always been for a four-nation approach on DRS with full alignment and interoperability to avoid the added complexity and costs that different approaches create.
“However, we respect that Wales is already leading the way on recycling rates and their desire to go further to achieve a truly circular economy for packaging.
“We will continue to work closely with Welsh Government on their proposed scheme and how it will impact our sector and deliver for brewers and pubs.”
