– Circularity Scotland selected RLG, a Reconomy Group company, as the preferred bidder to set up IT infrastructure for DRS in Scotland

MUNICH, Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Circularity Scotland Limited, the Scottish refund scheme administrator, has selected Reverse Logistics Group (RLG) as its implementation partner of choice to deliver a next generation IT solution ready to be managed in a future Deposit Refund Scheme (DRS) ) in Scotland. While a formal agreement is being made, implementation work has begun on what will be the most comprehensive system of its kind.

Due to RLG’s forward-looking approach and long history of operating DRS and EPR systems globally, Scotland is ambitious to build on this experience and adopt the world’s most efficient plan. Over the years, RLG has proven its ability to quickly and efficiently deploy and deploy complex systems in various countries around the world, including India and Canada.

Scotland will launch the Return on Deposit Scheme on 16 August 2023. This will be the first scheme to be launched in the UK.

“I believe that the experience and technology we can bring to this project will help Scotland develop a successful return on deposit scheme that will help the country achieve its sustainability goals,” he explained. Patrick Wiedemann, CEO of RLG. “For more than 25 years, we have partnered with all stakeholders in the reverse logistics value chain, driving innovation and operating state-of-the-art return on deposit schemes. Now, supported by Reconomy Group and have developed technologies that enable DRS operators to reduce costs and increase rates returns for beverage containers, we believe Scotland will benefit significantly,” he added.

As more and more countries in Europe and beyond are interested in adopting solutions that support their circular economy goals, especially with the adoption of the European Union’s single-use plastics guidelines, operators are seeking updates on traditional deposit return plans. Since DRS systems will operate for decades, IT system design needs to support future requirements from the outset.

Paul CoxRenomy Group CEO, said: “This is an outstanding example of Renomy Group’s impact on global and local sustainability. By leveraging RLG’s considerable experience and service capabilities across all of our divisions, this project will directly contribute to our goal of Reconomy Group to create a truly sustainable world through the conservation of finite resources.
