Full Business Case (FBC) that underpins the design for the deposit return scheme for Scotland.
This Full Business Case (FBC) Stage 1 demonstrates how a successful scheme will contribute to Scotland's 2025 target to increase the national recycling rate to 70% and to Towards a Litter-Free Scotland, the national litter strategy which aims to effect a wholesale shift in national policy and practice towards prevention. It reflects the aim of Scotland's circular economy strategy, Making Things Last, to ensure that as many materials as possible are kept in high-value use, through a closed loop system and/or high-value recycling. The DRS, and the social and economic benefits which it seeks to deliver, also sit within the context of the Scottish Government's Economic Action Plan.
