The extent to which retailers can be geared up at the pace and scale that would be required nationwide are likely to be key factors in determining the impact of the scheme and it\u0027s impact on the composition.\nThe introduction of UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK-ETS) scheme will increase disposal costs.\nThe legal mechanism for passing the costs of the ETS scheme back to local authorities has yet to be determined, so it\u0027s impact on the contract cannot currently be determined.",
