Re-Turn: Can Deposit Scheme

On 1 February 2024, Ireland launched the new return deposit scheme called Re-Turn. It’s essentially a recycling initiative, where you pay a bit extra on your cans (and some plastics) and then get it back when you return them to the Re-Turn “vending machines”. Sounds good right? Well… the beer industry has a lot to say about it, as do customers. This week we chat to Caoimhe from TheCru.ie and Leah from Whiplash Beer to get the inside scoop.

What we’re drinking:

• Whitefield Brewery ‘The Viscount’ Weizenbock
• Whiplash Beer: Body Riddle Pale Ale
• Two Sides Brewing: Talus in Wonderland IPA
