The Scottish Parliament has voted in favour of a deposit return scheme for Scotland, meaning that Scotland will soon be the first part of the UK to introduce a deposit return scheme for drinks containers.
As part of our recycling system It will be available across all of Scotland from 1 July 2022, and will make it easier for everyone to recycle their used bottles and cans, including all drinks sold in PET plastic, metal and glass.

This is a reverse vending machine - it could be the future of recycling.
The deposit return scheme will give you supermarket vouchers for returning plastic bottles. Dominic Reynolds
RVM Systems Managing director Niklas Engström said: "Once there is a value to the beverage container, people would like to get that deposit money back. "So that's really what's driving it and then there's also lots of environmental benefits like you don't have to use virgin materials to make new beverage containers. "There's a big reduction in CO2 in the production process when you can just recycle material. "To have a value to the beverage container is something that is understood by everyone. "You have a certain percentage of the population who will probably recycle anyhow without getting a deposit back."
Sainsbury’s has launched a Reverse Vending Recycling trial at its Lincoln Superstore which allows customers to return plastic bottles of any size up to 3 litres and drinks cans bought from Sainsbury’s in exchange for 5p coupons towards their shop. Up to 500 items can be deposited per customer, which means customers could save up to £25 off their shopping.
Judith Batchelar, Director Sainsbury’s Brand said, “We’re delighted to offer a new way to help our customers recycle while saving on their shop.”
The Reverse Vending Recycling trial is the latest in a line of steps Sainsbury’s is taking as part of its drive to cut plastic by removing, reusing, replacing and recycling
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham told MSPs that the deposit would be set at 20p.
Roseanna Cunningham said: “Scotland was the first part of the UK to commit to a deposit return scheme as part of our wider efforts to prevent discarded drinks containers from ending up in our streets and seas, and is now the first to outline its design – one that is ambitious in scale and scope, and which gives the people of Scotland a clear and straightforward way to do their bit for the environment.
“Two and a half years ago we were watching Chris Packham on TV and the river Clyde was actually featured, with people collecting bottles and cans. We saw some Barr’s Irn-Bru bottles bobbing up and down, and we thought to ourselves – that potentially could have come from one of our vending machines so therefore we are part of the problem. Let’s become part of the solution.
Having a deposit return system will allow us to deal with materials properly.”
