Consultation outcome: Drinks containers – reducing litter and increasing recycling: call for evidence

Updated: Voluntary & Economics Incentives Working Group Report, which summarises the responses to this call for evidence and the working group’s recommendations, added.

We are seeking views and evidence on ways to reduce littering and improve recycling and reuse of drinks containers. In particular, we want to know what evidence there is on the benefits and disadvantages of different types of deposit and reward and return schemes (DRS).

Your responses will be used by the independent Voluntary and Economic Incentives Working Group to give advice to government. This forms part of government’s commitment to its Litter Strategy for England.

If any commercially sensitive information is submitted to us in response to the call for evidence, we will remove details which could identify those who wrote it, before we share it with the Working Group.
