12 Jul 2022 --- The UK Plastic Packaging Tax is driving industry demand for recycled plastic film products and will be boosted by the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation, according to Coveris’ president of films business, Martin Davis. Speaking to PackagingInsights, Davis addresses concerns that the recent tax, which came into effect on April 1 this year, is unfairly punishing many industry players that do not have access to Britain’s short supply of post-consumer recyclate (PCR). Where films are concerned, the tax presents an opportunity for Coveris, claims Davis.
