Regulation 38 Voluntary return points

A scheme supplier may operate a voluntary return point at any in-scope premises in respect of which they are authorised to operate that return point by the deposit management organisation.

An in-scope retailer who is exempt from the requirement to operate a return point under regulation 36(1) may operate a voluntary return point at the premises concerned if they are authorised to do so by the deposit management organisation.

Schedule 4 contains further provision about authorisations to operate voluntary return points.
