Plastic Packaging
Tax Explained
The UK has taken a notable step towards a more sustainable future with the enforcement of the SingleUse Plastic Ban, which came into effect in 2022. The Single-Use Plastic Ban prohibits the sale and
distribution of certain single-use plastic items in the UK. This includes plastic straws, stirrers and cotton
buds, which help create a detrimental impact on marine life and ecosystems.
By curbing the consumption of single-use plastics, the ban is designed to make a substantial reduction in
pollution levels across oceans and land昀椀lls.
The Single-Use Plastic Ban presents a unique opportunity for businesses to pioneer innovative,
sustainable alternatives. We work with our global supplier base to invest in research and development
for eco-friendly materials and packaging solutions to not only comply with current regulations but also
lead the charge in shaping a more sustainable future. This pursuit of sourcing alternative solutions to
existing issues not only aligns with our environmental goals, but feeds into our culture of innovation and
enhances our product development initiatives.
Being Packaging Specialists, we have the industry knowledge, industry links and expertise to assist our
clients navigate through the legislative processes and procedures that affect the packaging sector and
companies that operate within it.
