Will the Minister outline the Welsh Government's current policy regarding the implementation of a deposit-return scheme in Wales?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 22/06/2021

Our proposed policy regarding the implementation of an all-in Deposit Return Scheme for drinks containers is set out in the consultation which closed on 4 June. We are currently also running a pilot Deposit Return Scheme with Conwy County Borough Council to explore how digital technology can be deployed to make the scheme more convenient for people to use, whilst potentially reducing the costs and carbon impact.v
