Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) has been a “bonfire of chaos” which was “absolute insanity for consumers”, the founder of Innis and Gunn has said.
Dougal Sharp hit out at the Scottish Government's recycling scheme on the BBC’s Good Morning Scotland programme, stating: “Businesses are reeling with uncertainty, and no one knows where to look next for answers; it’s a shambles.”
Under plans outlined for Scotland, shoppers would pay a 20p deposit every time they buy a drink in a can or bottle, with that money refunded to them when the empty containers are returned for recycling.
