They are among drinks firms asking the new first minister to make the deposit return scheme a priority.
All three SNP leadership contenders now say the initiative will not go ahead in its present form - Kate Forbes and Ash Regan want it paused, while Humza Yousaf would exempt smaller firms for a year.
She added that it was a tried-and-tested policy based on successful schemes around the world, where the polluter pays instead of the picking up a bill for rubbish.Soft drinks served in tin cans would be part of the deposit return scheme, which will launch on 16 August Roger White, the chief executive of AG Barr - the maker of Irn Bru and also a member of the BSDA - warned against delaying the introduction of the scheme.
He said: "We remain committed to the current timescale, but the Scottish government's clear and full support for DRS is critical if the scheme is to launch successfully in August." She said delaying the scheme again would be "irresponsible and counterproductive" and would leave those businesses which had prepared for it out of pocket.
