This guidance outlines how refillable and reusable beverage containers are assessed under Western Australia’s container deposit scheme (CDS). It explains the circumstances where containers may be exempt from CDS requirements, including the criteria for a ‘growler’ exemption, and the process for first responsible suppliers to notify and seek assessment.
The document also details evidence requirements for demonstrating genuine reuse systems and clarifies obligations where an exemption does not apply, including the need for container approval and scheme participation.
