The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) has published a call for evidence on the next steps for deposit returns schemes.
The call for evidence examines how deposit return schemes will be introduced to increase the proportion of such packaging which is recycled and to reduce the environmental damage from littering. The EAC is specifically asking for evidence and responses on; materials in scope, scheme design, obligations on retailers, recent changes in retail activity and how the scheme works in relation to other Government waste schemes under the Resource and Waste Strategy such as Extended Producer Responsibility.
