Bra Kommentatoren, joda dette er BREAKING NEWS!!

Hele UK vil innføre et pantesystem så snart som mulig. Som Grove sier vil England hoppe etter Scotland her. Det er nok mer snakk mellom de to landene om dette en det som kommer ut i media.
Husk at her snakker vi bare om UK. Resten av Europa og verden har dette MEGET høyt på TO DO listen også!!!

Helt klart KanonBra5! Med de høye resirkuleringsmål EU har satt seg når det gjelder plast, er det bare et tidsspørsmål før planer for pantesystemer blir konkretisert i medlemsnasjonene. Dette bekreftet da også CEO og CFO under Q & A sekvensen som avsluttet Q4 2018 presentasjonen 21.februar. Ja, under presentasjonen fikk vi jo sogar vite at Portugal allerede har lansert sine planer for pantesystem, med aggressive og ambisiøse tidsfrister.

Nydelig, fersk liten videosnutt fra BBC hvor tre av skolebarna intervjuer miljøvernminister Michael Gove. En ber ham få opp farten når det gjelder innføring av pantesystem. ☺ Gove bekrefter tett samarbeid med Skottland om saken og at han vil ha samme pantesystem over hele Storbritannia.

Avgjørelsen om hvilket system man går for i Western Australia er neppe langt unna nå KanonBra5. Ranstrand sa da også at man i Tomra nå venter på denne avgjørlsen, under Q4 2018 forleden.

Politikeren Murray Cook har kjempet for innføring av pantesystem i Western Australia i en årrekke og ser frem til at systemet er oppe og går tidlig i 2020. Måten Cook uttrykker seg på tyder på at han allerede vet litt om hva som kommer i sitt valgdistrikt så avgjørelsen om hvilket system man går for offentliggjøres nok med det aller første.

Container deposit scheme on the way for WA

Emily Sharp


Legislation to establish a WA-wide container deposit scheme was introduced to parliament late last year and is expected to be implemented in early 2020 with the aim to reduce littering and boost recycling throughout the State.

City of Bunbury councillor Murray Cook has been an avid supporter of the scheme for many years and said he was excited to see it finally legislated in WA.

"My involvement in this has been right from the start - it's been a long haul, South Australia has been going since the 70s," he said.

"One of the main drivers for this is litter, when you put a value on something suddenly it finds a different stream and it's a great opportunity for the scouts and girl guides to start gathering cans."

Cr. Cook is a member on the policy advisory committee and said it was expected containers in yellow bins would drop by about 40 per cent once the legislation was implemented.

"I urge people to get behind it and save them up, I know that alot of people will think 10 cents is not much but it is better than nothing and it will help," he said.

"We'll have three material recovery centres in Bunbury and they'll be open seven days a week."

Bunbury MLA Don Punch commended Cr. Cook on his work on the issue of waste and drawing attention to it within the region.

"The container deposit scheme is the next legislated step to minimise waste impact in WA - it's a legacy issue we have to change our behaviour now," he said.

Man må innføre et pantesystem, og at det blir innført er allerde vedtatt. I tillegg må drikkevareprodusentene pålegges økonomisk ansvar når det gjelder innsamling (pantesystemet) og resirkuleringen. Nettopp! Spot on!

Producer responsibility and Deposit Return Scheme key to sector improvement


Consultations for new producer responsibility charges and a Deposit Return Scheme are the most important developments in the packaging sector, according to two prominent speakers at the UK Bottled Water Conference.

James Piper, chief executive of Ecosurety, said there is a shift away from cost and towards an interest about effectiveness of recycling and making sure things are actually able to be recycled.

“The consultation that everyone says is the silver bullet and will solve ‘all’ the problems is the extended producer responsibility consultation. And to some extent the DRS one as well.

“The problem is currently most the money does not go in to recycling infrastructure. The consultations all have to come together to ultimately provide more funding into the system so that recycling can be more effective. What we are talking about here is taking a load of money from producers and putting it into the recycling infrastructure, and there’s a question about how that happens.”

He said Ecosurety wanted three areas of focus – infrastructure, innovations (such as new types of recyclers), and education.

Paul Rhodes, safety and external affairs manager at Greggs, conceded that the costs for recycling currently have been relatively flat and relatively low.

“We want to see improvement in recycling infrastructure, we don’t want the tax to be lost in the system. What we have got with these four consultations is an opportunity to make a bit of a difference.”

He said previous actions have been relatively piece meal.

“The two key consultations are producer responsibility and DRS. We need to make sure we make the best informed choices and what comes from them from the regulation point of view. To ensure there is no unintended consequences. One of the challenges we have around food waste is if you demonise plastics and remove it from food, there is a big risk of increasing food waste.

“Plastic is a fantastic material, and used and managed in the right way, in a circular way, is a real opportunity to help climate change activity but it needs to be thought through.”

Vi tar også med denne humørfylte påminnelsen til miljøvernminister Michael Gove om at alle typer flasker og bokser må med i den britiske pantesystemet. Gove oppfordres altså til å stå imot eventuell lobbyvirksomhet fra drikkevarebransjen for å forsøke å begrense pantesystemet til kun små flasker og bokser.

Michael Gove, Don’t Lose Your Bottle

Posted by John Sauven - 7th March 2019

...

The problem is – not everyone agrees. Industry trade bodies like the British Retail Consortium are lobbying for a watered down scheme which would exclude certain sizes and materials of drinks containers. If they get their way, at least six billion plastic bottles would be excluded from the deposit return scheme. That is clearly not acceptable. So this week, our determined Greenpeace volunteers delivered a 29ft-long plastic bottle artwork to the Environment Secretary Michael Gove, with a clear message to him: Don’t lose your bottle. We need an all-inclusive deposit return scheme that covers all sizes and materials.

Our enormous sculpture, made by artist Lulu Quinn from 2,500 littered plastic bottles, caused quite a spectacle and prompted many a smile from passers-by.

Ser for meg at Mr Gove ønsker at mest mulig typer flasker/bokser skal inkluderes i systemet. Det er vel ingen andre som kan takle dette bedre en TOMRA!!!!

Er det noen årsaker til att Tomra går kraftig ned i dag?

Her får vi vite at Tomra er "right in the middle of the action" når det gjelder utformingen av pantesystem for Storbritannia. Kan ikke se at noen av Tomras konkurrenter var representert på dette møtet i regjeringskvartalet Westminster hvor nøkkelaktører satte hverandre i stevne, men så har da også Tomra en global markedsandel på oppunder 80% (!!!) når det gjelder pantesystemer. Møtet nå et stykke inn i høringsrunden når det gjelder pantesystem i Storbritannia, blir karakterrisert som vellykket med fokus på det store bildet. At det som var mest omstridt er hvem som skal ta utgiftene, er ikke overraskende, men produsentene av innholdet i flasker og bokser slipper ikke lett unna her. "Extended producer responsibility (EPR)" er nemlig en helt essensiell komponent i skissen den britiske regjeringen la frem når det gjelder pantesystemet.




Together we can make the resources and waste strategy work

29 MARCH, 2019


An MRW round table held in Westminster brought together key players in the UK resources sector to examine in detail proposals for extended producer responsibility (EPR) and a deposit return scheme (DRS).

Both are key elements in Defra’s resources and waste strategy, and consultations are currently underway.

The event was backed by FCC, along with the compliance scheme European Recycling Platform (ERP) and Policy Connect. We heard from right across the sector, including CIWM head of policy Pat Jennings, Tomra Collection UK and Ireland managing director Truls Haug, London Assembly environment committee chair Leonie Cooper, Alupro executive director Rick Hindley, Incpen chief executive Paul Vanson and British Glass senior policy adviser Debbie Huntingdon.

Representatives of business and local authorities and Defra also gave their perspectives.

It became clear that, despite some differences, there was a willingness from everyone to work towards a better recycling system and that citizens need to be brought on-board.

Julie Fourcade, head of external affairs at FCC, said: ”The schemes must be consistent locally, regionally and nationally…they must also be clear and simple enough for everyone to use in their everyday lives.”

John Redmayne, managing director of ERP, said: “It was a breath of fresh air to see the discussion focus very much on the bigger picture.”

But there are still sticking points over how EPR funding should work.

Welsh Deputy Minister visits school to discuss Deposit Return Scheme with pupils

by Tom Walker
4 April 2019 08:52


Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government Hannah Blythyn visited Darren Park Primary School in Ferndale to highlight to highlight the Welsh Government’s consultation on a Deposit Return Scheme for drinks containers.

The school is one of many eco-school in Wales and its eco-committee has been working to reduce its plastic use and the school regularly joins in litter picks in the local area.

...

Blythyn said: “It has been an absolute pleasure to visit Darren Park Primary School to talk to the pupils about plastic use and the pros and cons of a deposit return scheme. They have all been very engaged in the discussion and have come up with some excellent ideas of how we can reduce our plastic waste and encourage more people to recycle.”

“If we can make rejecting single use plastic and reusing or recycling and much as possible second nature to the next generation we will have made a big step in improving our environment.”

“The children are committed to helping Wales become the number one recycling nation in the world and to making sure their communities also rise to the challenge.”

“Wales is a world leader in recycling but we want to go further. We want to take action or minimise the amount of packaging we use and incentivise better design of products and packaging, so that it can better be reused or easily recycled.”

“This could stimulate economic opportunities for Wales and support our sim to become a more circular economy.”

“I would therefore urge people in Wales to read and respond to the consultations to make sure Wales’ voice is heard on these issues.”

Could DRS work for small stores?

By Liz Wells in Special Reports 12th April 2019


With governments in Westminster and Edinburgh all but certain to introduce a deposit return scheme (DRS) for drinks containers such as plastic bottles and aluminium cans in the next couple of years, how should the system be designed so it is not only as effective as possible but also steers clear of any unintended consequences for small retailers?

That was the topic under discussion at a round-table debate hosted by Independent Retail News and sister title Packaging News in London last month (March). The event was sponsored by manufacturer Britvic Soft Drinks, responsible in the UK for brands including Pepsi, Tango, 7Up and Drench.

https://www.talkingretail.com/news/special-reports/drs-work-small-stores-12-04-2019/

Da kommer akkurat de toner vi ønsker å høre fra Stobritannias miljøvernminister Michael Gove!

Høringsrunden om pantesystemet som vil bli innført i Storbritannia (England, Wales og Nord-Irland. Skottland har for lengst gjennomført sin høringsrunde) løper til 13.mai. Vi vet at den skotske høringen munnet ut i et overveldende flertall for et "all-in" system som innbefatter alle typer flasker og bokser. Vi vet også at minister Gove jobber meget tett sammen med skottene med sikte på å innføre et likt pantesystem for hele Storbritannia. Med andre ord vil det skotske pantesystemet som etter planen skal være oppe og gå mot slutten av 2020, i praksis også fungere som en pilot for systemet som skal innføres i resten av Storbritannia. Da er det herlig å lese at Gove allerede nå går langt i å antyde at det går mot et "all-in" pantesystem for hele Storbritannia. Det er umulig å forestille seg annet enn at Tomra som har oppunder 80% global markedsandel innen pantesystemer, kommer til å spille den store hovedrollen når britiske myndigheter skal rulle ut dette prestisjeprosjektet!

Den ferske uttalelsen fra Michael Gove kom da han gjeset BBCs "One Show".



Gove hints at all-in drinks deposit scheme

23 APRIL, 2019 BY MARK SMULIAN


Environment secretary Michael Gove has signalled that he wants an ‘all in’ deposit return scheme (DRS) for drinks containers.

Defra’s consultation is still open on whether such a scheme should be ‘all in’ – involving drinks containers of all kinds – or be purely for ‘on the go’, involving only smaller bottles and cans typically bought for portable drinks.

Gove appeared on the BBC’s One Show (pictured), when he said: “There are different debates, different countries have different models. Should it just be the case that it’s on-the-go bottles, or would we extend it so it’s an all-in scheme so that every type of bottle and can be effectively returned?

“All in, I think, is probably the answer. But we need to listen because the way we consume drinks in this country is slightly different from other countries – we just have to get it right.”

He also said that extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging would cover 100% of the cost of the packaging for which manufacturers are responsible.

Defra’s consultations on EPR, the DRS, a plastics packaging tax and consistency in collections followed publication of its resources and waste strategy, and run to 13 May.

Dette er musikk i ørene for oss TOMRA aksjonærer!! Men også som forventer ;-)

Dette blir nok malen for resten Europa også. Man kan bare tenke seg hvor travelt (og lønnsomt!!) årene fremover blir for TOMRA!!!!

Investor

Ja, som forventet KanonBra5, men man skal være forsiktig med å undervurdere styrken i lobbyvirksomheten til drikkevareprodusenter og andre mektige aktører som primært er ute etter å mele sin egen kake. Vi må huske at disse tradisjonelt har vunnet frem med sin lobbyvirksomhet, i stor grad, med den konsekvens at en rekke foreslåtte pantesystemer aldri har blitt innført. Når vi nå ser hvilken krise verden står oppe i på grunn av plastforurensning, bør man derfor ikke la seg blende av at de fleste store drikkevareprodusenter nå ønsker å fremstå som "grønne" pådrivere. Dette forteller oss likevel at det nå høyst sannsynlig er "game over" for spillet disse har spilt i kulissene, i form av lobby. Opinionen har satt foten ned og fått nok.

Fint også å registrere at innflytelsesrike aktører er på vakt og gir skotske og britiske myndigheter klar beskjed om at eventuelle forsøk på å utvanne det kommende pantesystemet må slås tilbake, og at det er et "all-in" pantesystem som innbefatter alle typer flasker og bokser folket ønsker.

Effort behind innovative deposit return scheme cannot go to waste

CLIMATE FOR CHANGE


Scotland is drowning in a sea of plastic. With an astonishing 2.5 billion single use drinks containers sold here every year, there is a widespread recognition that things simply cannot go on as they are.

Now action is being taken – or, at least, is planned. We are set to become the first part of the UK to introduce a deposit return scheme (DRS) to encourage more sustainable use and to encourage people to recycle.

The idea is not entirely new – other countries such as Norway and Australia have already embraced it and in Sweden more than 1.8 billion items are returned under its own deposit return scheme every year, amounting to 85% per cent of this type of waste. But it would represent a pioneering new approach in the fight against pollution, environmental damage and climate change.

However, there are worries among some leading environmentalists that when Scottish Government plans are finally published, they could be watered down following behind-the-scenes lobbying by the plastics industry and others.

Eight campaigners have now joined together to publish an open letter demanding that the scheme must be as broad as possible without exclusions to protect commercial interests.

It would be unacceptable and confusing, they say, to create a two-tier system where some products can be returned by consumers and others cannot.

Those putting their names to the campaign for an “all-in” DRS include John Burton, Chief Executive Officer of the World Land Trust; Sian Sutherland, Co-Founder of the pressure group A Plastic Planet; Christopher Stephenson, Head of Operations at Plan Vivo Foundation; and Kathy Wormald, Chief Executive Officer of Froglife.

Other signatories are Jo Royle, Managing Director of Common Seas; Natalie Fee, Founder of City to Sea; Dominic Dyer, Chief Executive Officer of the Badger Trust; and Neil Garrick- Maidment, Executive Director of The Seahorse Trust.

In the letter, they point out that more than 3,200 people responded to last year’s Scottish Government consultation on how a DRS should be designed.

The results of this showed there was a high level of support for covering the widest possible range of materials, including plastic containers, metal cans, glass, cartons and disposable cups.

“In the face of mounting public support for an all-in DRS,” the letter says, “special interests are lobbying the Scottish government to exclude certain materials from the scheme.

“But creating a confusing two-tier system would make it even harder for consumers to recycle the drinks containers they use every day.”

The eight also point out that protecting the environment and reducing waste means creating a circular economy in which recycling keeps materials out of the environment.

“A piecemeal DRS will do little to gain the confidence of Scots who have little time to navigate the bewildering complexities of our recycling system.

“With Whitehall currently consulting on the introduction of a DRS in the rest of the UK, politicians south of the border are looking to Scotland to set a shining example of a system that works for people and planet.

“Australia, Norway and the Baltic countries have shown that a universal deposit scheme is possible and increases recycling levels.

“There is no reason we can’t follow suit.” The letter concludes: “If Holyrood pursues its stated ambitions, it must listen to Scots and ensure they go all-out for an all-in DRS.”

Tommelen opp for dette :-) Alt tyder på at det blir et komplett pantesystem som vil bli innført!! Vet du (Kommentatoren) når den endelige avgjørelsen/konklusjonen blir tatt?

Investor

Kjenner ikke til noen konkret dato når det gjelder endelig vedtak i Skottland om hvilket system man går for KanonBra5. Høringsrunden for England (Wales og Nord-Irland) løper til 13.mai. Når den er ute, begynner det nok å nærme seg. Uansett vil nok skottenes offentliggjøring av valgt system i praksis være ensbetydende med offentliggjøring av hvilket system som innføres i hele Storbritannia, for Michael Gove har jo nå sagt rett ut at man i Westminister samarbeider meget tett med skottene og at det vil bli et likt system i hele øyriket.

Vil forundre meg om det ikke ender opp med et (iallefall tilnærmet) "all-in" pantesystem som innbefatter alle typer flasker og bokser når trykket fra opinionen i retning dette er så sterkt som det nå er.

EUs "Single-Use Plastics Directive" som for lengst er vedtatt av EU-parllamentet, blir vel forøvrig snart formelt vedtatt som lov av "Council of Ministers". Den loven betyr vel i praksis at alle EU-nasjoner må innføre pantessystem for å oppfylle de strenge kravene til innsamling av plastflasker. Så det er og har vært morsomt å være Tomra-aksjonær, og jeg tror ikke det blir mindre morsomt i årene fremover. Den sterkeste veksten de kommende kvartalene vil nok Sorting Solutions sørge for, før det etterhvert altså også trolig tar helt av i Collection Solutions når nye pantesystemer skal opp og gå overalt, ikke bare i Europa, men rundt omkring på hele kloden.

Takk kommentatoren. Gleder meg til Q1 7 Mai :-)

Scottish Government urged to resist lobbying against recycling deposit scheme

By Andrew Learmonth

...

Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham told The National she was “proud of the fact that Scotland was the first part of the UK to commit to a deposit return scheme.”

She added: “The scheme is central to our wider circular economy ambitions and will be an effective way of increasing recycling rates and preventing discarded drinks containers from ending up in our streets and seas.

“We continue to give careful consideration to the scheme’s design and will set out next steps for its implementation shortly”.

Money back on your empties

By Phyllis Stephen - April 29, 2019

According to the Marine Conservation Society four out of five people in Scotland think that glass should be included in a national money-back recycling system.


Ministers are expected to make a decision shortly on a Deposit Return Scheme, which campaigners hope will set a high standard for the rest of the UK to follow.

Sections of UK industry have been lobbying for a limited scheme which would not include all materials and container sizes, with some resisting the inclusion of glass bottles.

But research carried out by YouGov for MCS shows that there’s even more support in Scotland for glass containers to be included in the scheme (85%), than plastic bottles (83%).

MCS Head of Conservation Scotland, Calum Duncan, said: “It’s clear that people in Scotland back the idea of a money-back recycling system and we want the Scottish Government to lead the UK in designing one that is world-class.

“What is also evident from our polling is that most voters want glass, plastic, aluminium cans and other drinks cartons to be included, with glass at the very top of their list. Ministers must listen to consumers instead of those in industry with vested interests.”

While the Scottish Government has already held a public consultation and is expected to announce the design of its scheme shortly, there’s a separate consultation, which ends on May 13th, being run by Defra which covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The survey showed that there’s overwhelming support for a system in Scotland that includes a wide range of drink container types. When asked what they thought should be included, 85% in Scotland said glass bottles, with almost the same number backing plastic bottles, followed by aluminium cans , and drinks cartons made of more than one material type.
