A Welsh Beer and Pub Association spokesperson said: “This is a vital step in delivering an interoperable UK-wide deposit return scheme for aluminium cans and plastic bottles.
“However, granting an exclusion for single-use glass, even with the transitional arrangements, means significant challenges remain. It is vital to ensure that brewers selling beer in glass bottles in Wales do not face prohibitively high producer fees as a result and must also be exempt from EPR fees as are other materials that are within scope of the DRS scheme.
“We will continue to work with the Welsh Government on delivery of a successful scheme for Welsh businesses and consumers.”
