Italy’s 450 euros/t virgin plastic tax, which was due to take effect on July 1, 2021, has now been postponed until January 2022, several sources in Italy said
.
PS and R-PET market sources said the new draft legislation for the Ministry of Economy and Finance was passed last week and the proposed new implementation date has now been approved, with the tax due to start early next year
.
The tax has been delayed several times before
.
The tax will apply to all virgin plastics, but not recycled or compostable bioplastics
.
According to Spanish R-PET sources, the Spanish market is planning to introduce a similar tax in July 2021, which is also believed to have been delayed until the second half of this year or early next year
.
The UK will introduce a plastic packaging tax of £200/tonne from 1 April 2022
.
These and other European legislations under discussion could have a significant impact on the recycling industry across the continent
