Information for beverage suppliers
Under the NSW Container Deposit Scheme, Return & Earn, all eligible beverage containers supplied into NSW must be approved by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA).
This Portal is for beverage suppliers or other relevant businesses to submit eligible beverage containers supplied in NSW to the EPA for approval.
Visit the EPA Website for information on which beverage containers are eligible and requirements for suppliers.
Supply Arrangement Number (SAN) Requirement
Suppliers must register with the Scheme Co-ordinator, Exchange for Change to obtain a Supply Arrangement Number (SAN) before creating an account on this Portal. You can find more information on the Exchange for Change website.
