Producers responsible for more than 95% of the containers sold in Scotland have now registered for the nation's new Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
Scheme administrator Circularity Scotland confirmed that by midnight on 28 February, producers responsible for more than two billion recyclable drinks containers had registered for the scheme.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the scheme’s regulator, also confirmed that registration will remain open to enable all producers to sign up in time for the launch of the DRS on 16 August.
