UK's Plastic Packaging Tax, one year later
Just over a year ago the UK government decided to install a quite consequential Plastic Packaging Tax, forcing label and packaging print shops to monitor and submit their usage and consumption of plastic in their products and manufacturing processes. It serves a noble purpose – supporting sustainability in our industry – but it has also caused a lot of concerned frowning on how to manage a complex reporting process that covers all aspects of this PPT-legislation.
Publish date:
The CERM Plastic Packaging-toolset covers two essential scripts to first calculate and inject the PPT weight for product and liner separately into 2 fields of the product properties, and secondly to calculate and automatically create invoice price lines on sales orders when applicable.
Our periodic reporting tool contains a fixed set of reports that include stock intake of finished products over a specific period of time, and an alternative report based on shipped finished products.
It’s turning out to be a win-win situation for everyone and there’s a real tendency to go for more-and-more eco-friendly label- or packaging solutions. The CERM Plastic Packaging toolkit works very well. The monthly reports allow you to track every product, produced and shipped, and how much plastic they involve exactly.
