The Scottish Retail Consortium (SRC) has hit out at the Scottish Government over its “unworkable, unsustainable, and undeliverable ultimatum” to retailers contained in the planned Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
The industry body warned the amended regulations for the scheme - which has now been delayed until March 2024 - could result in some companies stopping internet sales.
The SRC claimed that a requirement for those selling drinks online to collect empty containers from customers for recycling means businesses will need to make “serious decisions” about whether they can continue doing so.
