We’re excited to launch our new DRS Savings Card, making it easier than ever for customers to keep their savings in one place. Simply return eligible bottles and cans via our DRS machines, load your voucher value onto the card at checkout, and use it to save for future purchases—all while supporting sustainability. ALDI prepares to reach the milestone of 200 million DRS returns across our 163 Irish stores this February. Once this milestone is reached, ALDI shoppers will have returned over €30 million worth of cans and bottles since the launch of the scheme in February 2024. To build on this success, we’re investing in additional units to upgrade DRS facilities in our stores and warehouse facilities this year. Let’s keep creating a greener Ireland together! #Sustainability #ALDIIreland #DepositReturnScheme
