Draft legislation relating to the plans will be published later on this year.

The Scottish government has announced plans for what it describes as an"ambitious" deposit return scheme for drinks containers.

Under the scheme, consumers would pay a 20 pence deposit when buying a drink, which would be refunded if they return their bottle or can for recycling. Roseanna Cunningham, Scotland's environment secretary, described the proposed scheme as"ambitious in scale and scope." Draft legislation on the plans will be published later this year.
