Following lengthy disputes between multiple stakeholders and differing proposed approaches to the scheme across the nations of the UK, it now looks like it will be another two years at least before any DRS is introduced.<\/p>\n<p>DRS proposals have been plagued with problems from the outset with glass being one of the major points of contention. Whilst initial plans were to include glass in an all-in DRS, the government has now opted to exclude glass from the schemes in England and Northern Ireland, saying that including it would be too complex. Scotland is also under mounting pressure to align with England and Northern Ireland by excluding glass if and when its scheme does finally launch.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to exclude glass is obviously welcome news for the glass sector. The industry has long since voiced its concerns over proposals for an all-in system. Glass is one the most highly recyclable packaging materials available and already boasts an impressive recycling rate which hit 75.8 per cent in 2020, clearly illustrating that there is already a robust and reliable system in place through kerbside collection. Furthermore, there is extensive evidence from around the world that clearly shows glass&#8217; inclusion in a DRS has the potential to be counterproductive with a possible risk that it may even incentivise the use of single-use plastic packaging. Single-use plastics are one of the most serious environmental issues governments are trying to address, so any activity that drives more use should be vehemently avoided.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/glass-within-uk-deposit-return-scheme-counterproductive\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-389\/\">Glass within a UK deposit return scheme \u2018counterproductive\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4935,575,4388,579],"class_list":["post-116460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-drs","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-glass","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116460\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
