The Scottish Green MSP, Ross Greer, has hit out at the UK Government after it announced that it will only allow Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) to go ahead if glass is excluded.
The controversial scheme would see someone buying a can or bottle from a shop and paying a 20p deposit, which they will get back when they take the empty bottle back to one of the thousands of return points being set up across the country.
The UK Government has since blocked the inclusion of glass in Scotland’s DRS under the Internal Market Act.
