European plastic contribution
The European Union has introduced a “plastic tax” as part of the EU recovery package necessitated by EU spending as a result of Covid 19 (NextGeneration EU). This “plastic tax” is an own resource to the 2021–2027 EU budget. In fact, it is not a tax but a contribution from the Member States to the EU, based on the amount of non-recycled plastic packaging waste produced by each member state.
All Member States have already agreed to the contribution. This own resource is closely linked to the EU policy priorities.
Started 1 January 2021, the contribution is calculated by the weight of non-recycled plastic packaging waste with a uniform rate of EUR 0.80 per kilogram.
