Scotland's deposit return scheme will go live for consumers in one year’s time, giving businesses and consumers an easy way to boost recycling.
The Scottish Government say the scheme, which will be the first in the UK, will play an important part in Scotland’s journey to a circular economy.
Estimates by Zero Waste Scotland suggest that the scheme will reduce emissions by an average of nearly 160,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year - the equivalent of 109,000 return flights from Edinburgh to New York.
