Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) operator Circularity Scotland has appointed administrators.
The not-for-profit company was established by a number of drinks companies in 2020 to help implement Scotland’s DRS. In 2021, it was appointed as the administrator of the scheme and subsequently secured key contracts with third parties to help set up the required operational and IT infrastructure.
Approximately 40 staff members were employed by Circularity Scotland as it, and the drinks industry as a whole, geared up for the anticipated launch in August 2023.
