The firm, which was selected as the scheme's "logistics partner", said it invested "significant sums" in preparation of the project before it was scrapped.
The DRS, which was intended to come into force on August 16 last year, would have seen shoppers charged a deposit when buying drinks in cans and bottles, which would be repaid when empty containers were returned.
