        "riskDetails": "There are significant known risks that are likely to impact on the financial profile. The addition/removal of target materials during the contract term will impact on processing and income cost which may be difficult to determine at this stage. The addition of films will need to be added by 31 March 2027 will risk have financial and processing risk. Variability and uncertainty in the market availability and pricing of films. Determination of the most appropriate film collection method. Waste composition: the nature and composition of the waste will change during the course of the contact due to legal drivers. Liquid cartons, plastic/aluminium tubes will need to be collected by local authorities by April 2026. The introduction of the Deposit Return Scheme in October 2027 is likely to significantly reduce the income and may increase the cost of processing because the remaining container mix contains a greater proportion of materials that are less easy to separate. The price of the deposit is unknown. 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's impact on the composition. The introduction of UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK-ETS) scheme will increase disposal costs. The legal mechanism for passing the costs of the ETS scheme back to local authorities has yet to be determined, so it's impact on the contract cannot currently be determined."
