In recent years, many countries and regions have included plastics in the scope of consumption tax collection. How to offset the plastic tax is interpreted by Goolien Packaging, a professional producer of GRS recyclable plastic bags.
1.European and American countries use tax policies to require the use of recycled plastic bags
Since January 1, 2021, the European Union has introduced a "plastic packaging tax", which adds a plastic packaging tax at a tax rate of 0.8 euros per kilogram for disposable plastic packaging. The plastic tax is not a tax on the raw plastic or packaging industry, but a fee paid for plastic packaging waste that is not recycled.
From 1 April 2022, the UK will impose a plastic packaging tax (PPT) on single-use plastic packaging produced or imported at a rate of 0.2 pounds per kilogram.The Italian plastic tax was introduced on January 1, 2023. The tax was first proposed in the 2020 budget and has since been delayed several times.The Spanish Government has approved Decree HFP/1314/2022. The Spanish plastic tax comes into effect from January 1, 2023, with a starting point of 5 kg of non-recycled plastic packaging per month and a tax of 0.45 euros per kg.
The German government has issued draft legislation on the taxation of disposable plastic products, and enterprises that put disposable plastic products into the German market for sales (including remote sales) will need to pay taxes for the first time, which is expected to start collecting taxes in 2025.
In 2021, the U.S. Senate proposed a proposal to charge a certain excise tax on all non-recycled plastics produced by plastic manufacturers, including plastic packaging, beverage containers, bags and food service products. The proposal proposes a tax of 10 cents per pound of new plastic starting in 2022, rising to 15 cents in 2023 and 20 cents in 2024.
2. offset the plastic tax situation
With a recycled plastic content of 30% or more.
In the internationally recognized global recycling standard GRS certification, it is clear that only pre-consumer recycled polybag PIR and post-consumer recycled polybag PCR materials are considered recycled content. Therefore, 30% recycled, 50% recycled, 100% recycled refers to the proportion of recycled materials in the product or packaging by quality.
post-consumer recycled polybags are materials produced by households or commercial, industrial and institutional facilities as end-product users that can no longer be used for their intended use. Includes materials recovered from the distribution chain. That is, the plastic bags that are recycled by consumers after consumption have a wide distribution of crystal points, are transparent, and the color is slightly darker.
PIR plastic bag is the pre-consumer recycled polybag, that is, the recycled plastic bag before consumption, the material transferred from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. Exclude the reuse of certain materials, such as rework, re-grinding or residual materials produced during processing and will be reused in the same processing process, that is, plastic bags that are recycled without consumer consumption.
In summary, PCR, PIR plastic bags are plastic bags certified by GRS, or recyclable plastic bags, referring to meet customer requirements, meet internationally recognized environmental standards, truly recyclable plastic bags, is an important product of environmental protection bags.
TC certificate (TransactionCertificate) is an important document to prove recyclable materials, and transaction certificate (TransactionCertificate) is also an important way for organizations to monitor the entire supply chain to comply with the global recycling standard GRS.Generally speaking, the GRS certificate is a manifestation of the factory qualification, that is to say, the factory is qualified to produce GRS products, but at the same time, it can also produce ordinary products, so which products are ordinary? What is recyclable?
A TC certificate is a GRS recyclable material! That is to say, the GRS certificate is the qualification certificate of the factory, and the relative TC certificate is the proof of a certain batch of goods.
Therefore, the TC certificate will also have specific information such as product recycled material content and weight.
Goolien Packaging has successfully issued thousands of TC transaction certificates, which efficiently matches the customization work of recyclable plastic bags.
