30 Mar 2023 --- The British Plastics Federation’s (BPF) seminar on The Challenges of Incorporating Recycled Content in Plastics Packaging 2023 made it clear that there is work being done across the industry to address plastic supply chain concerns, according to BPF director of plastics and flexible packaging, Brian Lodge. Building more recycling infrastructure is going to be important to obtain the capacity the UK needs and the industry would like guaranteed revenue raised by the Plastics Packaging Tax and other related reforms to be used to develop this, stresses Lodge. When the tax entered enforcement one year ago, the BPF criticized the government treasury for refusing to guarantee the levy would be used to develop the industry from which it is raised.
