    I think that drinks companies have to put special labels on the cans and bottles sold in Scotland to stop cross border abuse of the system.
    The Greens are hell bent on introducing this scheme instead of waiting until 2025 for a U.K. wide scheme to be introduced because a company has already been set up and spent over £2 million doing some preparatory work for this scheme before the dozy MSPs voted in favour of it.
    There was an article about this company in the Sunday Times business section earlier this year.
    Their is no chance of Lorna Slater telling us about this company and how much will have to be written off if the Return Bottle Scheme I Scotland gets binned.

    From Zero waste Scotland site.

    "The Regulations do not require you to change your labelling. There is no specific requirement for you to add new labelling or bar codes to drink containers (scheme articles) sold in Scotland. You may decide that changing your labelling will help minimise fraud and improve the return of containers. This is something you can do if you choose to"

    Even if they did force suppliers to change the barcodes for products to be sold in Scotland do they think the local corner shop has time to scan every returned item and hand oot 20p's?

    You don't take them back to the shop. They go back to a kind of reverse vending machine, you put them in that and it gives you credit for them somehow or other. I heard that plastic bottles would have to still have labels on and cans can't be crushed or dented to get the money back. It's just another form of tax because nobody's going to be ****ed annoyed with this tin pot glorified recycling scheme.

    You take them back to where you bought them, I'm not saying that won't be a vending machine inside the shop but you return them to where you bought them.

    "All retailers that sell drinks in scheme containers to take away will be required to operate a return point"

    If there is a right way or a wrong way to do things in the Scottish Government, you can be sure that the Scottish Government MSPs and civil servants will do it the wrong way.

    Aye, but it's not their fault. Apparently a big boy (UK govt.) did it and ran away! How on earth can anyone with a modicum of common sense vote for the SNP and the crazy green nutters that keep them in power? It beggars belief.

    I think that the use of private companies to deliver government policies is the root cause of failed initiatives. Instead of getting clever civil servant to draw up the scheme based on meaningful and informed comment from the bits of society that will be impacted by any new legislation they privatise the whole process. SUSTRANS is another example of this type of thinking. You have no hope of stopping any wrong headed idea because the government just keeps throwing money at the company tasked with delivering a defined goal. Hopefully the company will be cancelled. Keeping it going until the UK scheme is agreed will be a complete waste of money imo.

    Slater is an utter buffoon. Absolute half-wit. She has the strategic thinking capability of a dandelion.
