Ireland's first bottle deposit return scheme has seen a significant increase in returns, with over 630 million containers deposited at reverse vending machines since its launch in February. The scheme, implemented by Re-turn, aims to reduce litter and increase recycling rates. Despite initial consumer confusion, the public has adapted to the new system, with returns increasing from 2 million per month to over 110 million per month.
