This new factsheet by the Reloop Platform explains why deposit return systems (DRS), which are in place in over 40 jurisdictions across the world, produce higher circular economy outcomes, including a more positive impact on job creation, than any other waste management option. Included in the factsheet is a table summarizing the key findings of 13 studies and reports that examined the job impacts of implementing or expanding a DRS for beverage containers. Despite differences in scope and methodology, every study shows that DRSs not only have a positive impact on the environment, but on jobs as well.
