Two of the SNP leadership candidates have pledged to pause the controversial deposit return scheme if they replace Nicola Sturgeon
The boss of a company in charge of a controversial recycling scheme has been blasted after he was revealed to be earning £300,000 per year.
The scheme involves shoppers paying an extra 20p when purchasing drinks in a can or bottle, with the deposit returned when they bring back the empty container for recycling. "This whole thing has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with money. He is laughing all the way to the bank, while drinks businesses are forced to sign up to a legally obligated yet totally unworkable DRS. This DRS mess is absolutely disgraceful."
"Circularity Scotland has totally failed to understand how the current system of recycling works and perhaps that is because they failed to listen to – or even meet – those who know most about it. Some major players were not afforded meetings, others did not get replies to requests to meet."
