What is considered a pure juice?

Pure juices such as lemon or lime with a suggested serving size of less than 20 ml are not considered ready-to-drink beverages.

As these products are primarily used for cooking, baking, or as mixers, they are not considered “ready-to-drink” and these products fall outside the scope of the Return-It program but most likely fall under Schedule 5 Packaging and Paper Product Category managed by Recycle BC. To ensure compliance with the BC Recycling Regulation, please contact Recycle BC.

Please ensure your system is updated accordingly and no deposit and container recycling fee (CRF) from any sales of this type of product is being charged.
