Smiths News Recycle and CMB are proud to introduce the Smart Lite.
From October 2027, the UK Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) will add a 20p deposit onto all plastic drinks
bottles and cans sold, which consumers will get back when they return containers to a Return Point. If you
sell drinks in cans or bottles you may need to become a Return Point and the right solution could boost
your footfall, improve efficiency, and generate additional revenue.
You need a solution that works for you: introducing the Smart Lite!
Smart Lite: Small footprint. Big impact.
A compact, high performance Automated Manual Return Point designed with independent retailers in mind.
The Smart Lite gives you the benefits of automation without the cost or complexity of larger machines.

Don’t over complicate the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS)
Smiths News Recycle’s Smart Lite gives you a simple, scalable way to stay compliant, compete locally,
and drive new revenue, all without the cost and disruption of a larger system
Make recycling work for your store, build footfall and become a community point. Interested in the Smart Lite? Email us at recycle@smithsnews.co.uk
