Скачать или смотреть Deposit Return Scheme: Where does the money go from bottles that are never returned?

The Deposit Return Scheme was launched in February and sees people get a deposit back on cans and plastic bottles that have an 'R' logo.

From June 1st all cans and bottles in Ireland must be included in the scheme.

Around five million bottles and cans are sold in Ireland every day and the minister in charge of the scheme, Ossian Smyth has previously said around €1 million in deposits should be collected every day.

There also concerns that the increase in cost, roughly 15 cents, isn’t enough to incentivise people to return their recyclable containers to machines and shops.
