Avoid fines and gain confidence in navigating the plastic packaging tax responsibly  

HMRC introduced the plastic packaging tax in the UK on 1 April 2022, as part of the UK’s resources and waste strategy to encourage the usage of recycled material in plastic packaging in the UK.

Are you liable for the tax?

Plastic packaging components manufactured in and imported into the UK are liable for a specific material tax at £217.85 per tonne where it does not meet a minimum recycled content of 30% by weight.
