22 Mar 2022 --- The British Plastics Federation (BPF) is introducing a free online tool to help companies ascertain whether their products qualify for the upcoming UK Plastic Packaging Tax. The tool is designed to be “quick and easy” and built on knowledge provided by consultancy firm Ernst & Young (EY). The tax comes into effect from April 1, 2022. It stipulates that any company annually importing more than 10 metric tons of plastic containing less than 30% recycled contact will face a £200 (US$264) levy per ton. Any amount less than 10 metric tons will be exempt.
