Re-turn Keeps Handling Fee, Sparks Debate

Re-turn, the company managing Irelands bottle and can deposit scheme, has decided to keep the current handling fees for retailers at two point two cents for automated returns and two point six cents for manual ones, despite retailer complaints and a review by EY. The company, which made over fifty-one million euros in profit last year, argues the fees cover costs, not profits. However, critics like Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín argue Re-turn should use unclaimed deposits to help retailers, as the scheme was intended to be cost-neutral. Re-turn is introducing targeted support of two thousand euros per site for high-volume retailers, sparking debate on the schemes fairness.
