The bottle return scheme due to go live this August is coming under fire, do you think it will work?
Scotland is aiming to be the first part of the UK to introduce the deposit return scheme for single-use drinks containers. Ministers claim it would boost recycling - but the plan is controversial, with critics calling for a delay.  The scheme is designed to boost recycling via a 20p deposit on single-use drinks bottles and cans.  But according to the circular economy minister, small businesses may not have to comply with Scotland's bottle return scheme straight away. Lorna Slater told the BBC she was "actively considering" a grace period.

Kaye asks:  Do you think the bottle return scheme will work - and will you make it work?
