<p>The Government committed in its manifesto to introduce a Deposit Return Scheme
(DRS) for drinks containers to incentivise people to recycle plastic and glass, and
is seeking powers to do so in the Environment Bill. Since consulting on its introduction
in 2019, the Government has been developing proposals for a DRS for drinks containers
using further evidence and ongoing engagement with stakeholders. The scope of the
scheme is being further developed and will be presented in a second consultation.
The Government is reviewing its implementation timeline for the proposed introduction
of the scheme, which will be announced in due course.</p>
