Plastic Packaging Tax
Explained
The UK has taken a notable step towards a more sustainable future with the
enforcement of the Single-Use Plastic Ban, which came into effect in 2022. The SingleUse 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 supply chain 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.
