How do I recognise an Irish Re-turn container?
Eligible containers are identified through the Irish Re-turn scheme marking and the scheme’s product eligibility rules.
Complete answer
The answer
The mark helps consumers recognise in-scope beverage containers. The barcode is also important for automated return. Keep the container empty, undamaged enough to be recognised and with the label in place.
If the machine rejects a container you believe is eligible, check the scheme’s barcode or consumer guidance and use the retailer’s return procedure where appropriate.
What to do
- Look for the Re-turn identification.
- Keep the label and barcode readable.
- Return through a participating Irish point.
