In April this year 2022 the government bought in a plastic tax, 

This is a new tax that will apply to plastic packaging manufactured in, or imported into the UK, that does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic. Plastic packaging is packaging that is predominantly plastic by weight.

It will not apply to any plastic packaging which contains at least 30% recycled plastic, or any packaging which is not predominantly plastic by weight.

Imported plastic packaging will be liable to the tax, whether the packaging is unfilled or filled. 

The Taxation is for every ton over 10 tons of plastic there is a £200.00 tax.

We already have a range of bio degradable polyethene and compostable bags, some of our polythene bag range already contain 30% recycled material , along with  some of our pallet wrap , we are working with our partners to increase our range of  products that we can offer, please contact us for any information .
