06.01.2022 Have your say on Victoria's #containerdepositscheme It's time to have your say on Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme!!! The Victorian Government is introducing a container deposit scheme (CDS) to increase beverage container recycling and reduce litter in Victoria. The scheme works by applying a small deposit to beverages sold to consumers which covers the cost of recycling. When the empty beverage containers such as those in plastic, glass bottles and aluminium cans, are r...eturned to a refund collection point, a cash refund can be collected for each container returned. Views on the consultation are sought on the proposed design for Victoria’s container deposit scheme and how it should operate. Key design choices such as how the deposit is received, types of eligible containers and types of refund collection infrastructure will all influence your experience with the CDS and how much you’ll want to use it. This is your opportunity to have your say, so that our scheme best suits Victoria’s needs. A short video can be watched and your your feedback on the CDS can be provided here by following the link: https://engage.vic.gov.au/container-deposit-scheme Sustainability Victoria #cds #containerdepositscheme #cashforcans #recycling #recyclingglass #glassbottles See more
