Re-turn

Re-turn is the operator of Ireland's Deposit Return Scheme, launched on February 1, 2024. When a drink is bought in a plastic bottle or aluminium or steel can featuring the Re-turn logo, a small deposit is paid in addition to the price of the drink; returning the empty, undamaged container to participating shops and supermarkets gives the deposit back in full. As a not-for-profit, all revenue generated by the scheme, including unredeemed deposits, is reinvested into the scheme and circular economy projects. The scheme reports over 3.2 billion cans and bottles Re-turned so far, a 55% reduction in litter, and a rise in the national recycling rate from 49% to over 90%.
