We welcome the official commencement of the Western Australian Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) and acknowledge the hard work to get the scheme up and running in challenging circumstances.
“I congratulate the McGowan Government for the introduction of the CDS and the huge effort in getting the scheme up and running during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a step in the right direction towards achieving a circular economy,” said Cleanaway’s CEO and Managing Director Vik Bansal.
