Question
To ask the Scottish Government what engagement it has had with Circularity Scotland, in light of the reported views by producers that the Deposit Return Scheme Registration process should be extended due to insufficient detail within the text of the agreements they will be required to sign.
Answer
The Scottish Government maintains regular contact with Circularity Scotland Ltd (CSL) at both Ministerial and official levels.
Business can continue to register with CSL. If they are concerned about being able to meet their obligations, including those who have concerns about the producer agreements or other matters related to the registration process, should contact CSL for advice and guidance as soon as possible. They can do so via their dedicated helpline or through their website.
