Challenge

Scotland is due to launch the Deposit Return Scheme in August 2023 and England, Wales and NI are likely to follow soon after.

The scheme works in this way. People pay a small deposit of 20p when they buy a drink in a single-use container and then get the deposit back when they return the empty bottle or can.

This has massive impacts on retailers and hospitality businesses, from the front of house process right through their supply chain and finance systems.

Leading Resolutions are already on its own journey to be carbon negative and are keen to help clients with this positive legislation change. We are looking for innovative ideas to make the process as straightforward, inexhaustive as possible and reduce the carbon footprint associated with this change?

What's in it for you?

A successful collaboration could mean, for individuals, becoming part of the wider Leading Resolutions innovation network, while for organisations, forming a potential partnership with a leading IT and Digital Consultancy.

These are global challenges and Leading Resolutions are willing to collaborate with both individuals/freelancers and other industry participants/universities etc. on solutions that are ready for market.
