<p>The Government committed, in its 2019 manifesto, to introduce a deposit return
scheme to incentivise people to recycle drinks containers.</p><p> </p><p>On 24 March
we published our second consultation on implementing a deposit return scheme for drinks
containers. Further details of the proposed deposit return scheme, including the size
of drinks containers being considered as part of the scope of the scheme, are presented
in this second consultation.</p><p> </p><p>Timelines have been reviewed to ensure
we allow sufficient time for the roll out and implementation of a complex policy,
and we therefore propose to implement the scheme in 2024, with views on this being
taken in the consultation.</p>
