Give details of upcoming DRS – how supportive is Biffa – how can it be improved, what are the concerns, will roll out be easy? What about Wales? We've long called for a fully interoperable, UK-wide DRS, as it has the potential to significantly reduce litter, as well as improve recycling rates and material recovery quality. We support its implementation to the current 2027 timeline. Biffa was appointed as the logistics partner for Scotland's DRS by Circularity Scotland Limited (CSL), before the scheme's government-led delay in 2023. This delay undermined investor confidence in UK policy and stakeholder engagement across the value chain. Concerns remain around interoperability across UK nations, the complexity of reverse logistics, and the risk of undermining kerbside systems. Wales is ahead in planning, but alignment across the UK is essential for success.
