CTPA would like to highlight that on 19 May 2026, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published a consultation on potential mandatory certification for mechanically recycled plastic packaging, in relation to the Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT).
HMRC is seeking views on whether mandatory certification would provide a proportionate and effective means for businesses to evidence recycled content when claiming relief from the PPT, while also improving the credibility of recycled plastic claims and reducing the risk of error or fraud.
The consultation is available on GOV.UK and the deadline for responses is Monday 10 August 2026.
