Join CRI for a timely webinar complementing the release of a comprehensive guidebook focused on further strengthening the effectiveness of deposit-return systems (DRS, aka bottle bills) through strategies to prevent fraud, free riding, and operational errors in these programs.

The information-packed webinar will provide invaluable information for legislators, policymakers, DRS program and redemption center operators, industry participants, representatives of oversight agencies, researchers, and many other stakeholders. It will cover:

  • Background on the different types of fraud, free riding, and errors;
  • Proven solutions that already exist in various jurisdictions around the globe;
  • Policy and administrative recommendations for both jurisdictions with existing DRS programs and jurisdictions looking to pass a DRS law; and
  • Definitions and model terminology that policymakers may use when developing or updating DRS legislation.

CRI President Susan V. Collins will be moderating and speaking on this webinar. More speakers to be announced soon.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join us for a timely conversation and deeper look into beverage container fraud, free riding, and errors.
