Details of bottle and can deposit scheme announced

Under the Deposit Return Scheme, to be introduced in February 2024, anyone who buys a drink will pay a small deposit for the plastic bottle or can container.

The scheme will be operated by Deposit Return Scheme Ireland CLG, trading as Re-turn, which was appointed by Mr Smyth in July. "We are not recycling enough to meet our EU targets. We've got a target for 2025 and one for 2030, and in order to do that, we believe that we need to give people an incentive to bring back the bottle or the can," the minister said.

He said in order to get deposits back, people will have to return to containers to the recycling locations. The supermarket has had its initiative in place since September 2021 in its stores in Glenageary in Dublin and Claremorris, Co Mayo.

Ireland still in the stone age idk how i hear people say other countries in Europe are so 'backwards' bich have you seen Poland/Germany/etc try to catch up lil rock xdd

Some people will start taking bottles out of the bottle banks and cash them in at new machines

Brilliant going back 40 years when you got 10 p on a litre of Nash’s lemonade when you returned the Bottle.

Like is this targeted for people who are drinking bottles and cans while in town? We already have recycling at home. How is this supposed to entice me into recycling? ? Whose idea was this? Whats the actual research behind it

Visited Germany twenty years ago on a school trip and this was bog standard practice absolutely everywhere we went. Ireland lags behind on such basic concepts constantly and yet there’ll be whinging over this no doubt. Over two decades behind our European counterparts.

Does it take empty beer cans lads?

A whole 25 years after the Netherlands at least

Big announcement about recycling your cans and bottles a scheme that was well in use in Croatia 4 years ago and we only get do it now

My concerns are about how much it will cost, some cronies making money? What percentage of plastic bottles and cans are currently not recycled? Mine go in the recycle bin, now I'm going to have to drive to one of these machines. Waste of diesel and electricity.

Italy doing well

This system is decades old. Other European countries have this for ages

Well, good idea but for us who recycle thoroughly already it will mean more trips to take stuff to a reclaim centre - ultimately causing greater environmental harm. Unintended consequences abound.

I had seen these in universities across the UK back in 2010...

So who gets the refund if we continue to put them in our green bin?

This is good.

How about people who have a recycling bin and already recycle plastic bottles and cans . Now going to be charged extra and for a refund will be forced to return to the shop. Think again. What about those of us who have been diligently filling our recycling bins We pay the deposit but we'd have store and return to recover it? Anything there for us? Another money scam. They know people won't bring them back. I have a recycling bin and don't appreciate the extra tax or an extra trip to get my money back.
