United Kingdom – October 2027
In January 2025, the UK government passed a DRS law for England and Northern Ireland (link). Scotland has passed legislation to aligning it with UK. On 6 May 2025, UK DMO was announced as the system operator (link). In March 2026, Wales adopted regulations for a Deposit Return Scheme which is set to commence in October 2027 (link).
