Regulation 29 Requirement to charge a deposit

A scheme supplier must charge a customer a deposit for each deposit item which the scheme supplier supplies to the customer.

But a scheme supplier who supplies deposit items for immediate consumption (“IC items”) to customers at any mixed retail premises or on-sale premises may decide not to charge a deposit for IC items supplied at those premises (an “opt-out decision”).

The scheme supplier may reverse an opt-out decision at any time.

In this regulation “customer” means a person to whom a scheme supplier supplies deposit items.
