CONSUMERS MISSED OUT on €66.7 million by not cashing in on the Deposit Return Scheme last year.
Re-turn’s annual report has revealed that the decision by many not to take back their soft drinks containers has contributed to the State-backed firm recording a surplus which, as a non-profit organisation, they will reinvest.
