Thanks to Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk and the Marine Conservation Society when a trial Deposit Return Scheme machine arrived in the town and created much interest with the public and local businesses.
Already DRS for drinks containers are in use in Scotland, recycling drinks bottles of different sizes including milk and juice bottles too. DEFRA is planning to bring this into England in 2020. It can't come soon enough. We look forward to hearing more about this.
Recycle and reuse
A fantastic bit of recycling kit and if we had these installed at every major supermarket forecourt we would encourage higher recycling rates as seen in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe. A direct way to reduce waste and pollution entering landfill and the oceans.
Top tips for reducing plastic in your business can be found at the MCS site which is very helpful http://www.mcs.org/reducing-plastics
