Pilot projects to modernize the deposit-refund

Since July 31, 2021, pilot projects have been carried out in six cities in Quebec to test recovery methods and collect information that will be used to build the future model of deposit-refund Quebecers.

Thus, at the end of 2022, the Quebec government will be able to expand the deposit-refund to all ready-to-drink beverage containers from 100 ml to 2 L. The objective of this initiative is to better recover and recycle our materials in Quebec. Thus, water bottles, wine and spirits bottles and juice and milk cartons will be subject to the deposit-refund .
