Reloop Podcast - Deposit Return

A brief look at the Deposit Return Schemes in the UK and Ireland

Welcome to Reloop’s newest podcast

Our new podcast series has been designed to give you a concise and insightful look at key issues shaping the circular economy.

In this debut episode of the Reloop Brief, we take a brief look at the current situation with deposit return schemes across the UK and Ireland.

Host Barry Snedden is joined by Reloop’s newly appointed UK & Ireland Director, Sarah Horner, and Global Networks Director, Jenni Hume, to break down the latest developments.

With England and Northern Ireland moving forward with their legislation, Scotland refining its regulations, and Wales considering a reuse element, the UK is gearing up to launch its Deposit Return Scheme in October 2027, but what is the current state of play?

Meanwhile, we hear about Ireland’s first year with a functioning programme, which has seen high return rates and growing industry support.
