Attention 📢 all businesses that manufacture or import plastic packaging - did you know that Plastic Packaging Tax will be introduced in the UK from April 2022?   We’ve produced a helpful step by step guide which so you can check whether the packaging you manufacture, or import, is within scope of the tax. You can read this below 👇   We hope you find this useful!

This is kicking the can along the road, and also will pass on costs to consumers. Recycled plastic is still plastic - a tax won't make companies think about going plastic free- they will just add the tax to the price. Reducing all single use plastics, recycled or not, has to be the only way forward.
