The European Council has agreed to implement a coronavirus pandemic relief plan from 1 January 2021, including a tax of 0.80 euros per kilogram of non-recyclable plastic packaging. The tax is described in the agreement as being “a national contribution calculated on the weight of non-recycled plastic packaging waste with a call rate of EUR 0.80 per kilogram with a mechanism to avoid excessively regressive impact on national contributions.” Specific laws still need to be refined and then approved by the European Parliament and The European Council.
