Plastic Packaging Tax in 2021
This year the BPIF has been lobbying Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) which comes into force from 1 April 2022.
The BPIF has worked to source best practice, solutions and support to help companies move forward and understand the upcoming legislation. Especially on how this this legislation will affect parts of the industry – causing an impact on a business’s operations, financials and administrative processes through providing updates from HMRC and delivering roundtables where members can discuss their concerns and get their questions answered.
The BPIF has also been lobbying the new legislation by actively engaging in discussions with HMRC and responding to the consultations. Even though we are still awaiting further clarification from HMRC, understanding and having an awareness of PPT is key to understanding the future of the industry and ensuring that your business can be proactive when it comes to the legislation.

Slight recovery of output and orders falls short of expectations in Q4 - confidence concerns mount in 2024
22 February 2024
Performance in the UK's printing and printed packaging industry did improve in Q4, as far as output and orders are concerned. However, it didn't come close to what would historically be considered the seasonal norm, nor quite match the subdued expectations for Q4.
