Context
The question arises from the recognition of potential benefits and trials of digital DRS technologies. Resource Futures estimates that a digital scheme could reduce costs by £3.3 billion compared to the current system.
If her Department will take steps to support trials of digital deposit return scheme technologies. I am pleased that the Minister recognises the possible advantages of a digital deposit return scheme, which, according to Resource Futures, could reduce the cost of the current scheme by £3.3 billion. We were promised a response to the latest DRS consultation, but it has still not been published. Will the Minister tell us when we can expect a response?
Further details of the deposit return scheme, which will be so important to reducing waste, will be announced and published later this month.
