Sweeping restrictions on plastics packaging and usage will affect many businesses across the UK.

From 1 October 2023., businesses will not be able to supply certain single use plastic items to the end user and this will affect the F&B sector the most -as the retailers scramble to think of alternative solutions.

How prepared are businesses in using up all their stock by this date ? And what are their penalties,  if not ?

Where are the exemptions and scenarios where there is room for interpretation ?

How about the Plastics Packaging Tax that was imposed last year ? How much revenue has this tax raised  and what are the new guidelines on mass balance esp with regards to chemical recycling ?

The UK government signals their strong intent to introduce Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging and that it will replace the current Packaging Waste Regulations with a phased implementation from 2023.

What actions are needed to be taken by organisations to prepare for this ?

Join us for a 2 hour virtual show with the packaging legal experts who will dive into these issues and share their insights on what’s to come !

Further, our CMT Connect Networking platform will be opened for participants for another week to maximise your networking opportunity with the rest of the plastics community.
