Calls for Welsh Environment Minister to scrap tax on bags

After the Environment Agency’s research on supermarket carrier bags was released, it has led packaging sector leaders to call on the Welsh Environment Minister to scrap the carrier bag tax due to be introduced in October this year. 


The research has found a cotton shopping bag has to be re-used at least 131 times to have less environmental impact than a standard single-use plastic bag.


"If it goes ahead, Wales will suffer higher environmental damage not less. These are the unintended consequences which her counterparts in Westminster and Scotland acknowledged a long time ago.”

Update to blog about Northern Ireland proposed levy on plastic bags

An update to our blog posted a few weeks ago regarding the deferment of the levy on plastic bags in Northern Ireland.


Despite reassurance from both the DuP and Sinn Fein it would seem they have now given the levy full support. Needless to say we are not impressed & will vigorously oppose (along with all the retailers in Northern Ireland). Can what they say about our politicians be true??
