The bottle return scheme will start in Scotland next year which will have a big impact on independent brewers and retailers. 

Every bottle purchased will cost 20p more and you will get the money back if you return it. Jeremy Balfour MSP visited Stewart Brewing in Edinburgh and met with other retailers as they have major concerns about the scheme. They say that this change will push up prices and reduce choices for customers. Some have suggested that they will have to stop selling certain products in Scotland. 

Jeremy Balfour MSP is campaigning to delay the start of the scheme.
