European Deposit Return Systems Association (EDRSA)
The European Deposit Return Systems Association (EDRSA) for beverage packaging was founded in 2025.
The objective is to advance best practices, policy development and collaboration in the field of deposit return systems (DRS) in Europe.
EDRSA aims to foster innovation, efficiency and environmental responsibility in DRS programmes by bringing together key players from across the industry, including system operators, policymakers, recyclers and technology providers. The association will serve as a platform for sharing expertise, advocating for effective legislation and driving improvements in circular economy initiatives.
The members of the Association operate in 15 EU Member States plus Iceland and Norway.
