The Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) came into effect on the 1 st of April 2022 to provide a clear economic

incentive for businesses to use recycled plastic in the manufacturing of their packaging. However,

before its implementation, there was confusion surrounding whom the responsibility lies within the

supply chain to pay the tax and what kinds of plastic polymers are included in the legislation.

In this episode, Bidfood’s Sustainable Packaging Manager, Graham Hasting-Stiles explains the tax in

full detail, while also sharing his vast expertise in all things plastic. Tune in to find out how the Plastic

Packaging Tax is affecting the industry, the challenges it poses to businesses, as well as the benefits

to the environment.

Graham also shares some great advice on what businesses can do to reduce their plastic usage

(perfect to prepare you for the Single Use Plastics ban) and what Bidfood is doing as an active

member of the UK Plastics Pact 2025.
