More Effective Plastic Packaging Tax

RECOUP believes the Plastic Packaging Tax, under its current operation, needs to be more effective to increase recycled content in plastic packaging. There are opportunities to make the tax more effective, reduce the risk of false claims of recycled content and support the aims of what the tax set out to achieve.

RECOUP is therefore putting forward strategic considerations to HMRC to maximise the overall environmental impact of the tax and avoid unintended and negative environmental outcomes.
