About the webinar
The UK Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) is bringing new requirements for producers, brand owners and retailers. Due to strong interest in our previous session, we're running this webinar again to help more businesses understand the upcoming DRS requirements and how to prepare with confidence.
Whether you're just getting started or already preparing, this webinar will help you understand what’s changing, what it means for your business and the key steps you need to take.
We'll cover barcode updates, information from the Deposit Management Organisation (DMO), and how GS1 standards, including Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and barcodes, can help you meet the new requirements and get your product data ready for DRS.
