23 Jun 2022 --- The UK’s Flexible Plastic Fund has failed to pay out a single penny of the £1 million (approximately US$1.4 million) invested by major consumer goods retailers over a year ago, according to the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA). In a report titled “The Great UK Soft Plastics Scandal,” investigators also found that British MP Mark Pawsey – who backs the Fund – is being paid £30,000 (US$36,630) per year by industry lobbying group the Foodservice Packaging Association (FPA) to use his parliamentary position to campaign against Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation.
