Consumers miss out on €66.7m from failing to cash in on Deposit Return Scheme
IRISH CONSUMERS LAST year turned their back on €66.7 million when they failed to cash in their deposits for soft drink containers through the Deposit Return Scheme. That is according to the 2024 annual report for Re-turn which shows that the failure by consumers to redeem the €66 million worth in deposits for their soft drink containers was the chief reason behind the State backed firm to record a pre-tax surplus of €51.3 million for 2024. Re-Turn went live with its Deposit Return Scheme operations on 1 February 2024 with the aim to significantly increase the recycling rates of bottles and cans. The annual report shows Re-turn recorded revenues of €114.4 million in 2024. This included the €66.7 million in unredeemed deposits and €47.7 million made up of €17.2 million from the sale of material and €30.5 million from 'producer fees'. The annual report discloses that the income from unredeemed deposits has resulted in a VAT settlement by Re-turn of €23.7 million. The company's 2024 costs totalled €62.2 million made up of direct collection and recycling costs of €46.5 million and administrative expenses of €1.5.7 million which included a spend of €4.6 million on 'marketing, communications, and public awareness'. The report states that the €66.7 million reflects the recognition of unredeemed deposits for the financial year and 'this is after a €36.5 million estimate of deposits expected to be returned post year end'. The report states that 'unredeemed deposits are an expected and routine scenario for deposit return schemes and it was anticipated that in the initial transition period redemptions would be low and therefore there would be a high level of unredeemed deposits. Advertisement The report states that 'as a not-for-profit organisation, in the early stages of our maturity, the fees from unredeemed containers are being reinvested in a number of ways'. These include paying off initial scheme set-up costs; infrastructure development; consumer education campaigns and contributing to our legally required contingency reserve. The report adds that income from unredeemed deposits 'is expected to significantly reduce as the scheme reaches its targeted redemptions of 90% in the coming years'. The report states that 'in the long term, should unredeemed deposits be higher than forecast, we would support initiatives that drive increased adoption of the scheme as well as investing in broader innovative projects designed to further the country's circular economy strategy'. The report states that Re-turn closed the year with a cash balance of €89.8m. The report states that this cash figure will reduce significantly in 2025 when several significant draw-downs are scheduled and after accounting for these factors the adjusted cash balance would reduce to approximately €32m. The significant draw-downs include a VAT settlement on unredeemed deposits of €23.7 million; a provision of €13.8 million for Re-turn's contingency reserve fund; a settlement of the remaining €11.7 million balance of the facility agreement with Bank of Ireland grant settlement of c.€3.2 million to retailers in respect of 2024 and a provision of €5.4 million for corporation tax arising on surplus in the scheme. In comments attached to the report, ceo of Re-turn, Ciaran Foley has stated: 'Thanks to the incredible buy-in and adoption from the Irish public, 877 million containers were returned through DRS in 2024, equating to an average 66% post transition period recycling rate10. He said: 'The seasonality of the soft drinks market was reflected in some even higher months, such as in August when the return rate reached 75%. Every 1% increase equates to around 19 million containers, and we recorded some daily returns of over 5 million products over the Christmas period. Chair of Re-turn, Tony Keohane stated that the launch of Ireland's Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in February 2024 marked a defining milestone in the country's journey toward a more sustainable future. He said: 'From a standing start in Autumn 2022, the scheme collected more than 877 million drinks containers in its first 11 months. In that short time, we've seen Irish consumers recycle more bottles and cans than ever before and do so in a way that produces high quality recyclate, helping build a truly circular economy.'

What the Papers Say: RTÉ €725 million ‘distorting' bailout; Nvidia gets Trump reprieve; Jaguar boss defends ‘woke' rebrand
10 am - Good morning from the Business Post newsroom. Daniel McConnell here with your Saturday morning round-up of the main stories in Ireland and across the world. RTÉ €725m funding could 'distort' media market, Irish Independent publisher warns Minister Mediahuis, the multinational group that owns the Irish Independent and Sunday Independent newspapers, has warned that the Government's multiyear funding agreement for RTÉ could damage competition, the Irish Times reports. The media company says this is the case because the bailout would help fund enhancements to digital products such as the RTÉ Player and RTÉ News App to the detriment of commercial media companies. The Belgian-Dutch publisher also said it was concerned that the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) could compound the existing imbalance in the relationship between Big Tech and commercial media companies in the State. The issues were raised in a May 7th letter, signed by Mediahuis director of legal and public affairs, Fergus Foody, and sent to Minister for Culture, Arts and Communication Patrick O'Donovan. Failure to provide gas storage puts Ireland at risk of major power outages, EY says Power cuts like those seen in Spain and Portugal could be a danger for Ireland if the Government does not provide for storing natural gas, according to a leading industry figure, the Irish Times is reporting. This State has no natural gas storage, or a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, despite relying on the fuel to generate close to half of all electricity. The Republic ultimately risks 'interruptions to supply' of this key energy source if it does not deal with this question sooner rather than later, Sean Casey, industrials and energy industry leader at EY said. Natural gas generates 40 per cent of Irish electricity, Casey noted, with the State importing 80 per cent of its natural gas via the UK. Its only home-grown source of the fuel, the Corrib field, is dwindling. HP Enterprise paid $25m dividend to Irish entity in June One of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise's main Irish units paid a dividend of €21.5 million ($25 million) in June to another of the computing giant's companies registered here after restructuring its balance sheet and cancelling part of its share capital in early 2025, the Irish Times reports. Accounts filed by Hewlett-Packard Galway (HPG), the entity behind the S&P 500-listed computing giant's European research and development (R&D) hub in Ballybrit, also reveal that operating profits at the unit surged by almost 700 per cent last year amid an increase in R&D tax credits. HPG, which employed some 374 people in the Republic last year, reported turnover of $68.9 million for the 12 months to the end of October last year, up by just under 4 per cent on the previous year. US licenses Nvidia to export chips to China after CEO meets Trump The US commerce department has started issuing licences to Nvidia to export H20 chips to China following weeks of inaction, after chief executive Jensen Huang met President Donald Trump at the White House, the Financial Times is reporting. A US official told the Financial Times the bureau of industry and security, the arm of the commerce department that oversees export controls, had begun to issue licences for the H20. Nvidia designed the chip for the Chinese market after the Biden administration imposed export controls on more advanced artificial intelligence chips. In April, the Trump administration appeared to take a tougher line by telling Nvidia it could not sell the H20 to China. Trump reversed course after Huang visited the White House and directly lobbied the president. But Nvidia was frustrated that three weeks after the decision, the administration had not started issuing the licences. Huang visited the White House on Wednesday and held another meeting with the president. Two days after the meeting, the commerce department starting issue the licences, according to people familiar with the decision. New Jaguar boss defends 'woke' rebrand after stinging criticism The new boss of Jaguar has defended the company's 'woke' rebrand, days after Donald Trump labelled it a 'total disaster', the Daily Telegraph reports. PB Balaji, who is due to take over as chief executive of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in November, claimed that the carmaker had seen a positive response to its overhaul. The move has seen it ditch its iconic jumping cat logo, embrace a hot pink aesthetic and debut a car design that has been compared to the Thunderbirds' limousine. He told reporters: 'We have put our plans together, the cars are being revealed, they're getting exciting response from the customers on the ground. Therefore, that's what the strategy is.' It comes days after Trump, the US president, claimed Jaguar had been left in 'absolute turmoil' by its rebrand.
