VicReturn is an exciting new business, tasked with the oversight and administration of Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme (“CDS Vic”), which is scheduled to launch in November 2023. At VicReturn we are motivated to help keep beverage containers out of landfill, creating clean streams of recycled materials that help to build our Circular Economy by promoting product stewardship of all Beverage Suppliers in Victoria.  

As the appointed Scheme Coordinator for Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme, we work with government and partners to oversee the building of a large-scale container recycling network which will play a key role in transforming Victoria’s waste and recycling system. Through a 10c refund for every eligible container returned we will encourage Victorians to collect and recycle their beverage containers, making a positive difference to our people, environment and local industry.
