About this Event

CETEx policy brief launch – “Plastic packaging taxes as a circular economy tool”

This event will explore how plastic packaging taxes can support the transition to a circular economy, drawing on emerging evidence from the UK and EU.

The launch event will include a presentation of the research findings and a panel discussion with speakers from academia, civil society, and the plastics industry. It is designed for representatives from business, policy and academic organisations who are looking to stay ahead of circular economy challenges and seize new opportunities.
