HOW YOU CAN HELP

EVERY day in Scotland, more than 130,000 plastic bottles and cans are used once and then discarded. Dumped bottles are a huge part of the estimated 12.7million tons of plastic waste that enters the world’s oceans every year. It’s a huge environmental problem for Scotland and a stain on our reputation as a country known for its wildlife and scenery. But we can act. Deposit return schemes work by charging a little extra, then refunding it when the bottle is returned. That way we reduce the number that end up as litter, in our oceans and in landfill. By signing our petition, you can move us a step closer to the creation of a bottle deposit return scheme.
