RTP reports the government will add a €0.10 charge to single-use packaging up to three litres from 10 April; the fee can be refunded if the container is returned to a participating collection point. The measure aims to incentivise returns and reduce waste; retailers and consumers should check which shops participate in the refund scheme and how returns are processed before 10 April. Shoppers should keep receipts and packaging if they plan to claim refunds.
