Include blister packs for medication in the UK Plastic Packaging Tax

Petition Details

Currently all packaging for medicinal products are exempt from the tax. The income from taxing these packs could go towards funding essential recycling programmes with local councils and pharmacies across the country.

Additional Information

This is a one-use plastic the vast majority of which ends up landfill. There are recycling programmes for blister packs, so the packs could be recycled across the country right now. But there is a lack of participation due to cost. We believe extending this tax could help country reach the net-zero target.
