The UK government plans to implement a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) across England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland starting 1 October 2027. This DRS will make producers responsible for collecting and recycling single-use beverage bottles to reduce litter and boost recycling rates. Consumers will pay a small deposit at purchase, refunded upon returning the empty containers to collection points, likely via reverse vending machines.
