**Introduction**:
Our Purpose

VicReturn is an exciting new business, tasked with the oversight and administration of Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme (“CDS Vic”), which is scheduled to launch in November 2023. At VicReturn we are motivated to help keep beverage containers out of landfill, creating clean streams of recycled materials that help to build our Circular Economy by promoting product stewardship of all Beverage Suppliers in Victoria.

As the appointed Scheme Coordinator for CDS Vic, we work with government and partners to oversee the building of a large-scale container recycling network which will play a key role in transforming Victoria’s waste and recycling system. Through a 10c refund for every eligible container returned we will encourage Victorians to collect and recycle their beverage containers, making a positive difference to our people, environment and local industry. 

Our People

At VicReturn, our people have come together with a common purpose, to build a successful Container Deposit Scheme that is projected to reduce beverage container litter by up to half. It takes a large network to do this effectively, and that’s why our people are great at partnering with others to achieve great results. We have a clear vision and are building a team of action orientated specialists who share a common passion to make a real environmental impact, and who have the skills and experience to build a world-class Container Deposit Scheme for Victoria.
