Together with @DrinksIreland, we're proud to have made this a reality - nice working with you @smytho @EamonRyan @Dept_ECC @returnireland @Retail_Irl @VOICE_Ireland and all our other partners. Onwards to February 2024...

[Voice Of Irish Concern for the Environment @VOICE_Ireland]

Perseverance pays! After over 20 years campaigning for a drinks container deposit return scheme, we are one step closer today with the #DRS launch this morning by @smytho @Dept_ECC

[Irish Beverage Council @IEBevCouncil]

Ireland's DRS can be transformative - why hamper its success by taxing it? In a joint call with @DrinksIreland @Retail_Irl @CSNA_Ireland @RGDATATara @VOICE_Ireland @foeireland @RediscoveryCtr & @Env_Pillar we urge @EamonRyan @Paschald & @smytho to ensure that VAT does not apply.

[Irish Beverage Council @IEBevCouncil]

The enactment of legislation marks the latest milestone in our proud journey towards making DRS a reality. We look forward to ongoing collaboration with @Dept_ECC @Retail_Irl @VOICE_Ireland and all our other partners in creating a truly world-class system for Ireland.

[Irish Beverage Council @IEBevCouncil]

After almost 2 years of intensive project work with our friends @DrinksIreland, we welcome @Dept_ECC & @EamonRyan's enactment of legislation providing for the introduction of an Irish DRS. https://t.co/q8TLJ1htkP

The making of #softdrinks is a science. The unique fizzy flavour is a result of a finely-honed modern production process, bringing together mineral water, diverse natural flavours, and carbon dioxide to produce the taste we all know and love. #FoodDrinkExplained @FoodDrinkEU

[Soft Drinks Europe @UNESDA]
