Exchange for Change to Hold Webinars Addressing Questions on DRS

Exchange for Change has announced a series of introductory webinar sessions designed to help businesses prepare for the rollout of the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in October 2027. Known as DRS 101, the series will give organisations across the drinks supply chain a clear and accessible introduction to the scheme explaining what the DRS is, outlining roles and responsibilities, and highlighting the practical steps required to get ready.

 

Each webinar will be led by speakers from the Exchange for Change team and will include a live Q&A, giving industry stakeholders the opportunity to ask questions and clarify the actions they may need to take ahead of implementation. The series forms part of Exchange for Change’s ongoing commitment to support businesses and keep them informed as the scheme evolves.

 

The programme begins on Tuesday 17 February 2026, running from 10:30am to 11:45am, and will be followed by eight further sessions throughout February and March, with more planned later in the year. Each webinar will be delivered via Microsoft Teams, lasting 45 minutes with additional time allocated for questions.
