	question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the proportion of the plastic used in food packaging that will be liable for the plastic packaging tax.
	tabling member constituency	Carshalton and Wallington
	tabling member printed	Elliot Colburn
	uin	169060
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2021 answer text <p>From April 2022, the Plastic Packaging Tax will encourage the use of recycled plastic instead of new material within plastic packaging. This will create greater demand for recycled plastic, and in turn stimulate increased levels of recycling and collection of plastic waste, diverting it away from landfill or incineration. Hand in hand with Defra’s wider packaging reforms, this tax will provide the necessary incentives for producers to make more sustainable packaging, and ensure the UK does its part in tackling this global issue.</p><p> </p><p>Packaging used to protect food makes up a significant proportion of packaging in the UK and many types of food packaging already include recycled plastic or use alternative materials to plastic. Without being included in the tax, the types of food packaging where it is currently challenging to increase the level of recycled content would have fewer incentives to find new ways to overcome issues for including recycled material in the production of plastic packaging. However, the Government will continue to monitor progress in this area.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 23/03/2021 07:43:19 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
