UK Paper Packaging Leaders Calls for Transition Away from Plastic in Wake of PPT Success

◔ February 20, 2024

The recently implemented Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) in the UK has exceeded revenue expectations in its first year, generating over £200 million according to HMRC. This surprising outcome highlights the scale of plastic waste in the UK and the urgent need to transition to more sustainable alternatives, according to leading UK paper packaging manufacturer Branded Paper Cups ( a Scyphus company).

“The success of the PPT shows that we as a nation consume far too much unchecked plastic packaging. The revenues generated are a sign that citizens and businesses want change but need help transitioning away from plastic,” said Leslie Carr, Director, Scyphus.

The company states that plastic has drawbacks in terms of recyclability, fossil fuel usage, and pollution. By swapping to sustainably sourced paper packaging, businesses can align themselves with public sentiment on reducing plastic waste.

“Paper packaging ticks all the boxes in terms of sustainability. It’s recyclable, renewable, and compostable. We urge businesses to help drive positive environmental impact by choosing paper over plastic,” said Lez.

However, Branded Paper Cups warns that current recycling infrastructure in the UK is insufficient for dealing with plastic waste, jeopardizing the goals of the PPT. They call on the government to invest PPT revenues into dramatically improving recycling capabilities nationwide.

“We cannot thrive in a throwaway culture built on plastic. The time for paper is now,” concluded Lez Carr. Scyphus hopes that the  upcoming events like London Packaging Week can further spread this message.

Our printed Paper Cups are environment friendly, they are GREEN

When folks think about paper cups, they visualise trees being cut for paper, they typically visualise that old oak in the field, the birds, the squirrels, and even worst, the depleting rainforests, the rising global temperatures.

We at scyphus solely obtain our papers for our printed paper cups, only from accredited mills, these mills are accredited by responsible monitoring organisations and thus can be assumed to be following all sustainable forestry practices that help us keep the planet green.

But the fact is that currently there are managed tree farms, places where trees are grown as a crop for lumbering, these monitered farms keep planting trees similar to how a farmer plants new seeds after that season's harvest. only that in case of those massive trees, this harvesting cycle is usually over twenty years.

The activities of these farms and all that is happening to our forests is monitored by some credible Not for Profit organisations . Organisations that certify and monitor these farms and their method of harvesting and replanting and maintaining the inexperienced cover.

We are green and we urge you to question your Paper Cups company that whether they obtain their raw material from licensed mills only or not.

Think before ordering your Paper Cups

So ask the paper cups manufacturer company you have determined to place the order with, if they manufacture their cups within the UK, don't choose low-cost paper cups imported and delivered straight from some bulk paper cups shop somewhere in China.

Before you place the order for your Paper Cups, tailor-made to augment brand visibility, check if its the best quality out there.
