Question
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to reports that producers are considering seeking legal advice over Circularity Scotland’s reported inability to provide necessary information about the Deposit Return Scheme, creating a barrier to registration, and thus impacting their ability to sell in Scotland.
Answer
I urge producers to begin their registration for the scheme if they haven’t already and contact the scheme administrator, Circularity Scotland, for advice and guidance.
CSL has recently run a series of information workshops across the country to enable business affected by DRS to learn more about the scheme and an online webinar is available for those who could not attend. CSL also has a trained team of advisers who can support individual businesses in getting registered and ready for DRS.
