Plastic Policy

Emerging Plastic Policies

Stay ahead of the competition to save the planet. Don’t get left behind.

Environmentalism, a marginal political issue approximately twenty years ago has now become a mainstream social and political concern. In recent times, this has been driven by the increasing knowledge of global warming and its effect on our planet.

More recently, however, the increase in marine pollution highlighted so extraordinarily in the Blue Planet series by the BBC and spearheaded by Sir David Attenborough has led to a significant shift in public opinion in opposition to the throw-away culture that we find ourselves in. The increasing focus on pollution prevention and the impact of plastic waste in our environment is driving individuals, enterprise and governments to identify solutions to curb the effects that our waste is having on the natural world.

It is a common misconception that ‘being green’ can cost the earth. Actually, particularly in the realm of waste management, becoming more resource efficient through waste minimisation or improving the recyclability of a product will bring significant financial benefits.

Emerging Plastic Policies and the long term impact on UK Businesses

It is quite obvious from reading the impending changes that the long term aim of Government is to make all packaging recyclable, to improve resource efficiency, start to reverse the throw away culture and make re-use and repair major players in how we manage our waste. Recycling target rates will also continue to rise.

Acting now to review your waste requirements will have significant financial benefits to your business. ERA can work with you to understand whether you are currently reaching existing legislative requirements and help prepare your business for the many changes that are coming our way.
