RETAILERS STILL SELLING OLD STOCK
CNA checks at Dakota, Serangoon, Choa Chu Kang and Jurong found no retailers carrying beverage containers with the deposit mark – including NTUC FairPrice outlets, Giant outlets, minimarts and drink stalls at coffee shops and hawker centres.
Some refrigerators stocking canned and bottled drinks displayed stickers informing customers of the S$0.10 deposit.
A Cold Storage spokesperson said its outlets would transition fully to the new containers by July, adding that internal systems have been updated and staff trained. FairPrice Group similarly said its systems were updated and ready for beverages under the BCRS.
