CCCS OKs beverage container return scheme

Beverages in plastic and metal containers will have a refundable deposit of $0.10.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) has given positive guidance over the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) operation of non-profit company BCRS Limited.

CCCS said the scheme is unlikely to infringe sections 34 and 47 of the Competition Act 2004 after Coca-Cola Singapore Beverages, F&N Foods, and Pokka applied for their guidance.

Under the scheme, pre-packaged beverages in plastic and metal containers ranging from 150 millilitres to 3 litres will have a refundable deposit of $0.10.

The deposit will be fully refunded when empty beverage containers are returned at designated return points.

The parties target to launch the scheme by 1 April 2026.
