Packaging Tax Calculator

With the packaging introduced in the UK at the start of April, converters are using increasing quantities of recycled material to meet the 30% recycled content threshold and avoid the tax.

See our calculator below to see how premium grades of recycled material can save you money in single use packaging applications. Even at a £500 / MT premium over virgin grades, the right recycled grade can save you money over 100% virgin solutions.
