The new recycling system

This is their consumer guidance their last press release.

From 1 February onwards, drinks in plastic bottles and cans with the Re-turn logo will start to appear in shops and supermarkets nationwide. These drinks containers will require the purchaser to pay a fully refundable deposit in addition to the price of the product. When finished your drink, you can return your empty undamaged container to any participating shop or supermarket nationwide.

To prevent waste, for a limited period, from 1 February there will be some stock of plastic bottles and cans without the Re-urn logo. As consumers will not have paid a deposit on these plastic bottles and cans, they can be placed in recycling bins.

-------------------------

Still telling people non logo doesn't qualify and to put those in their recycle bin.

They are even fúcking up their own name. 😂

The very least they can do is update their website to play the Benny Hill Theme tune.

That's from the 10th January. Look at page 6 of the consumer guide

Page 6?

This is the banner of page 1.

From 1 February 2024, when you buy your drink in a plastic bottle or aluminium / steel can with the Re-turn logo, you’ll pay a small deposit. Once you’re refreshed, bring back your empty and undamaged plastic bottle or can to any participating shop or supermarket nationwide to get your deposit back in full.

---------------------

I know the Comms Director have hardly been busy, but you think they would actually read their own fúcking website.

Nah sure, get paid either way.

Just bought two bottles of tesco squash no logo - charged +25 cent on each at the till (on top of the shelf price). Didn't realise till I got home an checked receipt.

raging - surely tesco are now ending up with the 50 cent for themselves? This has put me right off, and I want my 50 cent back tbh! Should be some mechanism for this manually during the transition period if you bring a receipt to show you were charged

you still asuming re-turn have "powers" because a businuess registered with them. wow.

the stores were mandated by law to register with them and take part in the scheme, that is one thing, re-turn cannot move the goal posts and blame others for their own blunders. re-turn dont have a leg to stand on. not an opinion only fact.

the policies of this not-for-profit company isnt law. they offer nothing in return to anyone but themself. you seem to think government requiring businuesses by law to sign up with these clowns, gives these clowns an ability to create and enforce their own policies as law upon businuesses lmao wtf

how stupid is that all idea...

why not just make incentives like :

waste companies weights your recycling bin, you get discount on general waste..

or..

pay for recycling at recycling centres , let`s say fiver for 10kg ..streets will be spotless..

or..

add some plenty of tax on those poisonous small sugar cans and ridiculous 100ml plastic bottles of gulp of water, create free drinkable water fountains like in some parts of world instead..

or..

dozens of ideas , but this burden on everyone, everyone now will have to go around to shop with bags of bottles, all those recycling machines for every single shop in a country is bigger damage then those few plastic bottles themselves, all those collection trucks will be going back and forth and will have to be maintained ..etc..etc..

and like all people will suddenly even bother for few cents to follow this scheme ...

You are confused to which post you are replying to.

Maybe time for a break eh?

I doubt Ciaran is working the bank holiday, don't see why you should be.

i have not mistaken anything. Your statement is an opinion. Not a fact. Return define what an in scope container is, they have stated some containers without a logo are in scope.

You have an opinion. Not a fact.

Don't panic.

Have they got a barcode ?

If so put it into the checker on the Return

website.

If it confirms as refundable happy days.

If not hold onto the bottles and receipt because Tesco owe you 50cent.

Best to keep the receipt anyway in case you have difficulty at the RVM.

You can bring them to any Reverse Vending Machine. A Tesco bottle will be accepted in a Lidl Machine and vice versa.

they have stated some containers without a logo are in scope.

Yeah the day the scheme launched.

100s of millions of products already in store with no deposit paid on them to the wholesaler.

Again. Fact.

That’s fine but it doesn’t change anything above. Your statement above is an opinion. Not a literal fact.

You like presenting your opinions as fact.

So it's against the law to refund the deposit without a logo but perfectly legal to charge without a logo? 😂

ReTurn will define and interpret the law as needed at this stage.

Clearly.

Doesn't mean they won't be in breach of it.

No. The law does not state that. You’re entirely twisting it.

The law says the retailer or RPO is required too. It does not say they are not allowed too. More twisting from you.

Im glad you agree ReTurn define an inscope container and inscope containers can have the logo as per their consumer guidelines pdf.

Which returns to the very start of this. That shop is not charging a deposit on scope containers. As per the law, ReTurn can audit them.

Wheres my scare mongering? Ive provided exhaustive evidence to back up that it’s a “risk”. Nothing more. Extremely unlikely but still a risk.

Do you accept ReTurn have the power to audit retailers under the linked legislation? Section 5 (1)(e)

Under section 14(1), this retailer is selling an inscope container without charging a deposit. That is in breach of the law.

Ive given you exhaustive evidence.
