Re-turn said Thursday, 29 February was the most active day in February with just under 201,000 drinks containers returned. There are currently 2,202 Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) and over 150 manual return points across 1380 deposit return locations, Re-turn said.<\/p>\n<p>Re-turn said Ireland\u2019s deposit return scheme (DRS) is a circular economy initiative that\u202faims to create a closed-loop recycling system guaranteeing that the material is returned and recycled. The EU has set Ireland a target for the separate collection of 77% by 2025 and 90% by 2029. Re-turn said that Ireland currently recycles approximately 60% of drinks containers. Re-turn said DRSs are active across 15 European countries and Ireland\u2019s rates of initial participation are \u201cvery strong\u201d when compared to EU counterparts. Romania, which has a population of over 19 million, launched its DRS on 1 December 2023, collected 31,000 containers in the scheme\u2019s first month of operation and 2.24 million in its second month, Re-turn said.<\/p>\n<p>Ireland\u2019s DRS went live on 1 February. The DRS requires anyone who buys a drink in a plastic bottle or aluminium can featuring a Re-turn logo to pay a deposit which can be redeemed when returning the container empty and undamaged to a participating retailer.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circularonline.co.uk\/news\/irelands-drs-collects-over-2-million-drinks-containers-in-first-month\/\">Circular Online<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-489\/\">Ireland\u2019s DRS collects over 2 million drinks containers in first month<\/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":[4935,575,3345],"class_list":["post-126744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-drs","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ireland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126744","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=126744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126744\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
