Queen s Speech: Ministers to introduce recycling deposit return scheme

Ministers today confirmed they will rollout a deposit return scheme for plastic bottles and metal cans as part of a wider push to revolutionise how we recycle .  The return scheme has been included in the Queen s Speech and it could see shoppers charged 20 pence extra for drinks in bottles or cans.   A charge will be added to the price of certain products, with the money then returned to the customer if and when they bring back the packaging to be recycled.  The Government is hoping the scheme will increase recycling levels and also provide for more effective litter enforcement . The proposal will be brought forward in the Government s Environment Bill which will also include powers to introduce charges on single use plastic items to further crackdown on pollution.
