11 Mar 2019 --- The Director for Plastic and Flexible Packaging at the British Plastics Federation (BPF) has warned against the adverse effects of a “hard” Brexit on the entire value chain. Speaking to PackagingInsights during the recent Packaging Innovations show in Birmingham, UK, Barry Turner explained that uncertainty around exports, investment decisions and the supply of raw materials could cause significant disruption to the packaging industry. In a wide-ranging interview, Turner also explained his preference for an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme over a plastics tax because he wants reassurance that reinvestments will be made directly within the UK plastics industry.
