Great to see children already learning about Deposit Return across schools in Scotland!

"My class enjoyed the informative video and quiz at the end. It was clear and concise. I used the sheet to discuss the ways that using the deposit return scheme would help our environment. Thanks for directing the school to these resources, I feel these will be helpful in the future too!" Miss Brisbane, P2/3 teacher, Limekilns Primary, Fife.
