♻️ Wales can be proud of its recycling record but plans for a new deposit return scheme for glass are unnecessary
💷 It will cause confusion and extra costs for people and businesses.

✍️Sign our petition - Defend the British Glass Industry
A new glass tax came into force in the UK on 1 April 2025. It is part of the Packaging Extended Producer Responsibility aimed at encouraging recycling.
Unfortunately, it also adds up to an extra 10p on a newly manufactured glass bottle. This will lead to producers moving to more plastic containers, which would have a huge impact on jobs in the glass industry and the environment.
Please show your support - sign our petition 🙏👇

So much learning, discovery and curiosity during the @CutlersBLBW morning at Coit Primary School. We all learnt so much about the employment opportunities within the local area. Huge thanks to @BritGlass @LBofoundation Applatch for bringing all of this into school 🙌🏻

Have a look at this @BritGlass video about the life cycle of a glass container, much of which was shot at our factory in South Yorkshire!
As the film makes clear, you should only put glass bottles and jars into your recycling bin!

As @ScotchWhiskySWA has long argued, the removal of glass from the Scottish DRS and greater alignment with other schemes across the UK would enable the scheme to go ahead
Better to have a functional DRS without glass, than a failed DRS with it
I now await the bots... 🤖
British Glass retweeted
We can! A 2017 ZWS report stated it would be credible to estimate 70-90% of glass bottles are recycled in Scotland.
In the UK, the glass recycling rate is already 74%.
The real myth is that including glass in a DRS will increase the amount of glass that’s recycled in Scotland.
