Across Europe, based on EU legislation (European Union Single-Use Plastic Directive 2019/904), countries are gradually introducing and implementing the so-called Plastic tax, which should mainly be in practice from 2023.
As stated on several occasions, Plastic tax is seen as part of the EU recovery package which is much needed after all the EU spending as a result of Covid 19, but is it also one of several reforms under the Green Deal. The main goal is to reduce consumption of raw materials and waste and to drive change when it comes to the proliferation of non-recycled plastic.
