A controversial bottle return scheme which faces a key deadline this week has been branded a “nightmare” by a Stirling firm.
The Deposit Return Scheme will see customers paying a 20p deposit when purchasing a drink in a single-use container and they can then return the empty container to a point and get their deposit back.
It applies to single-use containers between 50 millilitres and 3 litres, made of PET plastic, aluminium, steel, or glass.
