Linking recycling refunds to ez-link cards feels like a step backwards

(Feb 5).

The Beverage Container Return Scheme Ltd is the not-for-profit producer-led operator licensed to run the beverage container return scheme in Singapore. We are committed to providing convenient ways for members of the public to obtain their 10-cent refund when they return their regulated beverage containers, while keeping operating costs manageable for our producers.

One of our payment partners is SimplyGo. We have worked with SimplyGo to onboard all ez-link and SimplyGo ez-link cards, including concession cards held by students and the elderly. This allows for an inclusive and seamless recycling experience.

We are working closely with various government agencies and industry partners to implement this scheme and will announce other digital payment modes soon.
