• The Italian government officially confirmed on the 19th October that the €450/tonne plastic packaging tax will be implemented in January 2023.
• In the UK, the rate of PPT will be £200 per metric tonne of plastic packaging (that contains less than 30% of recycled plastic).

Who is going to shoulder the Plastic Packaging Tax?

• Everyone, from the largest plastic packaging manufacturer to the corner shop customer buying a packet of pasta, will see its effects.
