Singapore Solicits Public Comments on Deposit System for Beverage Containers

On September 20, 2022, the Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA) announced details of its beverage container deposit system, which has been under consideration since 2020, and launched a public consultation. Under this system, a small deposit will be added to metal and plastic beverage containers. Buyers can get their deposit back by returning their empty beverage containers at one of the return points.
