Tesco increases bottle size for trial DRS vending machines

Tesco has increased the size of the bottles that can be recycled in its deposit-return scheme trial, after revealing it has now seen 100,000
When Tesco first launched its reverse vending machines at trials in Borehamwood, Edinburgh Hermiston Gait, Manchester Stretford and Swansea Marina in September last year, they were limited to 500ml bottles. However, Tesco has announced that it is now accepting any bottle up to three litres.
The move by the UK’s biggest retailer has been greeted as a sign of support for a fully-fledged DRS system, with the industry split over whether recycling should target all bottles or just the on-the-go sector.
