• The commercial challenge for UK recyclers.

• UK Plastic Packaging Tax.

• Other tax systems and recycled content legislation.

• Material verification and certification – what’s happening in the UK.

• Existing certification schemes.

• Recommendations for future action:

-BPF and RECOUP Recycled Content Verification Systems report.

-Mass Balance Allowance in the UK.

-New RECOUP research about the impacts of incorrect or fraudulent claims of recycled content.

Information about the latest research will be communicated with members soon.
