The National Environment Agency (NEA) issued a clarification regarding the "Return Right" beverage container refund scheme following public interest.
Here are the key details:
* Total Containers Refunded: 5.5 million.
* Total Transactions: More than 1 million.
* The Discrepancy: The reason the number of containers (5.5 million) exceeds the number of transactions (over 1 million) is that users are able to deposit multiple containers in a single transaction.

The NEA issued this clarification on 15 August 2026 to address public concerns, specifically noting that allegations regarding misappropriation or corruption related to the scheme are "mispl
