Making cents: Economic Analysis of Container Deposit/Refund Schemes

Container Deposit Schemes (CDS), also known as Container Refund Schemes, are principally designed to change behaviour to meet objectives related to reducing the volume of beverage containers that end up in landfill or that are discarded in the environment. Together with other policies, this change in behaviour facilitates reuse of materials through recycling and provides a number of financial, social and environmental benefits to communities across Australia.
