CIRCULARITY Scotland has selected Reverse Logistics Group (RLG), a Reconomy Group company, as the preferred implementation partner to deliver an IT solution to manage Scotland’s deposit return scheme (DRS).
Work has already started on what has been called ‘the most comprehensive system of its kind’.
RLG has a long history of operating DRS and EPR systems globally, with the business deploying system rollouts in various countries including India and Canada.
Scotland is due to launch its DRS initiative on 16 August 2023.
“I believe that both the expertise and the technology we can bring to this project will support Scotland in developing a successful deposit return scheme that will help the country achieve its sustainability goals,” said Patrick Wiedemann, CEO of RLG. “For more than 25 years, we have partnered with all stakeholders within the reverse logistics value chain, driving innovations and operating sophisticated deposit return schemes.
:Now, with the backing of the Reconomy Group, and having developed a technology that allows DRS operators to reduce costs and raise beverage container return rates, we believe that Scotland will benefit significantly.”
Paul Cox, Reconomy Group CEO, added, “This is a fantastic example of the impact the Reconomy Group can make to global and local sustainability. Using the considerable expertise of RLG and the service capabilities across all of our divisions, this project will directly contribute to our Reconomy Group purpose of creating a truly sustainable world through conserving finite resources.”
