Exchange for Change, the proposed Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) administrator for the UK, has announced its proposed producer fees structure. This announcement gives producers and industry stakeholders visibility on the fee model that will apply when the scheme launches in 2027. The DRS is a producer responsibility initiative requiring producers of drinks containers to participate in a deposit-return system. The fee structure will determine the financial obligations for producers registering with and operating under the scheme. This update represents a key milestone in the scheme's implementation phase, allowing industry time to prepare for compliance requirements ahead of the 2027 launch date.
