How Trademark Polythene Helps Companies Save Thousands.
On April 1st, 2022, the UK government introduced the Plastic Packaging Tax, a new regulation that requires all plastic packaging to contain at least 30% recycled material. Companies that fail to meet this requirement face a substantial tax of £217.85 per tonne. This new legislation has presented a significant challenge for businesses, as they strive to maintain the quality and durability of their packaging while avoiding the additional tax burden.
Trademark Polythene recognised the impact this tax would have on our clients and took proactive steps to help them navigate this change. Our team of experts has worked diligently to provide guidance and support to companies, assisting them in sourcing and supplying plastic packaging that meets the 30% recycled material threshold.
By leveraging our extensive knowledge of the packaging industry and our strong relationships with suppliers, we have been able to offer our clients a range of solutions that not only comply with the Plastic Packaging Tax but also maintain the high standards of durability and quality they require. Our approach has helped numerous companies save several thousands of pounds per year in tax costs.
One notable success story involves a large online retailer. By working closely with their team, we were able to identify a suitable alternative to their existing packaging that incorporated the required 30% recycled material. This solution not only met the new tax requirements but also provided the same level of protection and functionality as their previous packaging. As a result, the client was able to avoid the Plastic Packaging Tax entirely, saving them a significant amount of money each year.
