First Minister Humza Yousaf writes to PM Rishi Sunak urging him to revoke the UK's rejection of glass by Monday.
"The removal of glass fundamentally threatens the viability of Scotland's DRS with reduced revenue for the scheme administrator," he wrote."For example, C&C Group - owners of the iconic Tennent's brand - has been explicit that the decision by the UK government to remove glass threatens investment and jobs.
"I urge you to revoke the conditions set out in your letter and grant a full exclusion for Scotland's DRS, to be implemented as per the regulations agreed by the Scottish Parliament in this area of devolved competence. "There is little doubt your government's action have put the future of DRS in grave danger, not only in Scotland but also in the rest of the UK due to the damage to consumer and investor confidence."Another of the conditions placed on the scheme was the insurance of "interoperability" between the Scottish scheme and the anticipated English DRS, which is intended to launch in October 2025.
