Fed Continues to Lobby for Deposit Return Scheme That Works for Small Shops– Whilst Urging Members to Prepare

The Fed continues to urge political leaders to introduce a cost-neutral and simple Deposit Return Scheme that maximises participation by small shops across the UK when it launches next year.

Meanwhile the Fed has continued its calls for the Welsh Government to stay streamlined with the rest of the UK and only focus on recycling plastic and metal containers as outlined in its manifesto shared with Welsh Political leaders last month.

At the same time, the Fed is encouraging as many members as possible to participate in the following webinars in March which will explain what is involved:

• 12:30-13:45 Tuesday 3rd March
• 10:30-11:45 Thursday 5th March
• 10:30-11.45 Monday 9th March
• 09:30-10:45 Wednesday 11th March
• 10:30-11:45 Tuesday 17th March
• 13:30-14:45 Thursday 19th March

Anyone interested in attending can register for their chosen date and time via the Exchange for Change website: https://exchangeforchange.co.uk/webinars
