BRC DRS Workshop
This event is exclusive to BRC Retail Members and by invitation only.
This full day, retailer only workshop will bring together retailers hosting mandatory return points for the UK's Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) to collectively test, refine and agree a shared set of high level operational assumptions. In the absence of a complete operational blueprint and with continued uncertainty around Exchange for Change's (the UK Deposit Management Organisation) timeline, the session is designed to support retailers in progressing internal planning and investment decisions in a pragmatic and proactive way.
The workshop will focus on agreeing a concise, collectively endorsed set of assumptions that retailers are already using to inform their preparations. These will be clearly positioned as retailer assumptions (high level, non commercial and explicitly caveated) rather than final decisions, policy positions or substitutes for DMO guidance. Discussion will centre on priority operational areas including exemptions, cut over and transition arrangements, collections models, return volumes and RVM requirements, invoicing and cross border considerations.
By the end of the day, participants will have helped shape a shared planning framework that could be used across the retail sector to support readiness for DRS, while recognising ongoing regulatory and delivery uncertainties.
