Scottish court allows Biffa to sue government for £160m over failed recycling scheme.

A Scottish court has allowed Biffa, a waste management company, to proceed with a £160m lawsuit against the Scottish Government over a failed deposit return scheme (DRS). Biffa alleges the government misrepresented the scheme's viability, leading to their significant investment loss. The case continues amid disputes over whether the UK's Internal Market Act forced the change in plans, delaying the UK-wide DRS until at least 2027.
