Growing Demand for Plastics Market

Cohesive government regulations are also acting in the country. In April 2018, a new initiative, named Plastics Pact was launched in the country to reduce single-use plastic packaging by 2025. It was launched by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. The collaboration aims to improve the plastic supply chain and its waste usage. Due to this, government and non-government organizations work to sustainably use plastic and to restrict plastic waste in the ocean. In the initial phase, around 42 companies have joined the initiative and more companies joined later. It majorly includes food beverage companies, manufacturers, and retailers, including Tesco, Coca-Cola, and Novamont. These companies contribute to around 80% of the plastic packaging of products sold in the country.

The government is also actively working to reduce plastic waste and increase recycling activities. In March 2020, the government of UK announced a tax of $260 (£200) per ton on virgin plastic in the 2020 budget. The tax will be applied from April 2022 to the plastic packaging which does not contain at least 30% recycled plastic. The tax will be applied from April 2022 to both plastics, which are manufactured in UK or imported from any other country. The tax rate and limit of 30% recycled plastic will continuously remain in review by the government and may change to fulfill the aim of promoting recycled plastic.
