Deadline day for Scotland's deposit return scheme
Mr Yousaf said he would struggle to see how the scheme could go ahead without glass
Last week, the UK government approved a partial exemption to the Internal Market Act for the deposit scheme, but stipulated glass could not be part of it.Is glass important to the deposit return scheme? On Sunday, Scottish Secretary Alister Jack insisted the exclusion of glass remained a condition of their support.But SNP deputy leader Keith Brown told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme that the scheme had been "sabotaged by the UK government."
Circularity Scotland, the administrator of the scheme, said a target of 90% for the remelting and reuse of glass would rise to 95% once the scheme was launched. "If I get off the train in Carlisle and buy some recyclable material and it's 10p in Carlisle and 20p in Dumfries, I double my money. That makes no sense."
