"On-the-go only" was an option dismissed by the 4 governments of the UK for DRS years ago, as the impact assessment and scientific work did not conclude that it would be effective in capturing the necessary quantity of materials.

In addition, it's very confusing for consumers to be asked to return some types of containers and not others. Anytime I bring this topic up with peers, friends and family (and MPs!) they always say "Oh yes, I remember collecting glass bottles for the 'pop man' when I was young!" It's a cultural touchstone and a shoe-in for consumer engagement on this, which is critical to success for the scheme. Why exclude glass?
