Deposit Return Scheme Registration Opens Ahead of October 2027 Launch

Exchange for Change has opened a registration portal for producers and retailers across the drinks supply chain. This allows businesses to begin working through the administrative groundwork required ahead of the Deposit Return Scheme launch in October 2027.

This first stage of registration focuses on the core details needed from businesses, including:

• the company details (registration number and company address).
• primary contact information.
• trading name (where applicable).
• relevant business and mailing addresses.

Phase 1 registration closes by 31 December 2026, although Exchange for Change are encouraging businesses to complete it as soon as possible.

A second stage of registration is due to open in January 2027 that will involve submitting more detailed operational information.
