Plastic Tax developments
Our recent compliance updates have shown a sharp increase in countries enacting legislation with a ‘green’ agenda. More specifically, we have seen the introduction of the Plastic Packaging Tax in the United Kingdom from 1 April 2022.
Spain is now promoting a similar incentive. On 9 April 2022, Spain published Law 7/2022 on Waste and Contaminated Soils. This is being introduced to fight climate change and for the preservation of the marine environment.
To achieve this, specifically, Spain is seeking to transpose the following 2 European EU Directives:
- Directive 2018/851, which aims to modify the Waste Framework Directive
- Single-Use Plastic Directive 2019/904, which aims to alleviate the environmental impact of certain plastic products.
Aligning with EU regulations is viewed as the most effective way to achieve these goals.
