Goa will introduce a legislation making it mandatory for manufacturers selling packaged goods in the state to implement a deposit refundable system (DRS).
Environment minister Nilesh Cabral said that, under the system, manufacturers will add a small additional cost to their products sold within Goa. Once the product is consumed, the consumer will be able to get the additional cost paid or deposit back on returning the packaging of plastic or glass bottle to retailers at certain predesignated spots.
