With implementation drawing closer, attention across the drinks, retail and recycling sectors is increasingly turning from planning to practical readiness.
The Deposit Return Scheme Conference 2027 will bring together the organisations at the heart of delivering DRS, creating a timely opportunity to understand what the scheme will mean in practice and how businesses and public sector organisations can prepare.
Policymakers, producers, retailers, local authorities, recyclers, technology providers and other stakeholders will come together to examine the operational, commercial and consumer considerations surrounding the new system.
From collection infrastructure and reverse vending technology to material flows, compliance and public participation, the conference will provide a forum to explore the challenges ahead, share emerging solutions and learn from preparations across the sector.
The full 2027 agenda and speaker line-up will be announced in due course.
