Tory plans to exclude glass from Holyrood’s deposit return scheme are threatening Scotland’s favourite lager.
The owner of Tennent’s has warned the UK Government proposal would undermine their business and put jobs at risk. Scotland’s DRS is due to begin next year, but the scheme needs the Conservative Government to grant an exemption from UK-wide trade legislation.
The Tory administration agreed a partial exemption but only if the Scottish scheme excludes glass and aligns with the rest of the UK.
