The company set up to administer Scotland’s delayed Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) appears to be on the verge of collapse, with staff sent home and uncertainty over whether this month’s wages will be paid.
The board of Circularity Scotland said it is “working tirelessly” to find a solution, after the Scottish Government announced a fourth delay to the DRS.
The scheme will not now begin until October 2025 at the earliest, after the UK Government ruled that glass bottles should not be included.
