A container deposit scheme is due to come into effect in New South Wales on 1 December, but Deputy Premier John Barilaro wants Premier Gladys Berejiklian to delay its introduction. Under the scheme, consumers get a refund of $A0.10 for each container they take back to collection points or reverse vending machines. However, Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton has been accused of failing to ensure that there are enough collection points available, particularly in regional areas, despite consumers already being charged at least $A3 more for a carton of beer.

Adoption of the New South Wales Government’s container deposit scheme is expected to result in increased prices for beverage products. The scheme will come into effect on 1 December 2017, and it will be managed by a consortium of soft drink and brewing companies that includes Lion, Coopers and Coca-Cola Amatil. The scheme is expected to have the most impact on sales of large packs of soft drink and beer, along with private label bottled water.
