By Dr Chris Sherrington, Mark Cordle, Laurence Elliott, Jade Kelly, Dr Sarah Kemp, Leyla Lugal, Orla Woods.
Executive summary
Following the Turkish Government’s announcement that a deposit return system (DRS) for single-use beverage containers would be introduced by 2021 (and complete by 2023), Reloop commissioned Eunomia to investigate a possible DRS design.
The purpose of this study is to:
1) Establish how a DRS could work effectively in Turkey by reviewing DRS design features associated with high return rates and design features that have proven less effective in other systems; and
2) Model the proposed design to arrive at indicative costs and benefits of a DRS in Turkey.
