Circularity Scotland, the administrator of Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme, has announced that forecast producer fees have been reduced for every type of material included in the scheme.
The producer fees, which have been reduced by 40% in some cases, are calculated for each type of material and now reflect the variations in collection costs as well as the sales revenues for collected materials.
The scheme administrator has also announced that the timing of cashflows from producers to Circularity Scotland for deposits have also been extensively reviewed. The revised profile of payments will see a reduction in cash to be paid by certain producers at the point the scheme goes live - particularly those retaining the use of UK-wide products.
