Future of Food Packaging: HMRC update on the Plastic Packaging Tax

Free event to help your business learn more about the implementation of the Plastic Packaging Tax

The Northern Ireland Food and Packaging Industry is rapidly changing in response to consumer demand for more sustainable packaging. To meet this growing sustainability requirement, there needs to be closer collaboration between government, research bodies, manufacturers, retailers and recyclers to identify innovative sustainable packaging solutions.

Invest Northern Ireland is collaborating with the College of Agriculture Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) and the Northern Ireland Food and Drink Association (NIFDA) to actively encourage collaboration by running a series of events entitled 'The Future of Food Packaging'.

The next in this series of events will take place at CAFRE College Sports Complex on Wednesday 14 September 2022. It will focus on the implementation of the Plastic Packaging Tax which came into force in the UK on 1 April 2022.

Participants will also have the opportunity to hear from a range of speakers who can assist companies to manage the implementation of the plastics tax and hear from the NIFDA Packaging Forum and Foundation Earth on what they are doing and their plans for the future.

After the talk, there will be a question and answer session, chaired by Michael Bell, Executive Director, NIFDA.

Register now to attend the event.
