Large numbers of businesses throughout the UK are breaking the law and risk being fined after new legislation introduced earlier this year now requires all workplaces to display a new and updated Health and Safety Law Poster.
At a Parliamentary reception held last week, the message from PAFA, the BPF and the Plastics 2020 Challenge was educate, educate, educate when it comes to consumer knowledge of the benefits of plastics packaging and recycling.
Earlier this month the triennial PVC conference took place. From sustainability and success stories, it was a well-attended event with some interesting insights. However, the use of shale gas is still very much dividing opinion.
This month, Philip Law gives a snapshot of current BPF activity, which reveals strong economic progress in the industry, intensive engagement with government both at UK and EU level and dialogue with the media over misconceived reporting.
Philip Law gives his outlook for the UK plastics industry in 2014, including the issues surrounding shale gas and packaging recycling, as well as looking at the opportunities offered by growing overseas markets.
Peter Davis, Director-General of the BPF, looks at what the coming year could hold for the UK plastics industry, including the potential impact of high-profile issues such as the UK's shale gas deposits and England's carrier bag tax.
Philip Law, Public and Industrial Affairs Director at the British Plastics Federation, writes for BP&R on what has a period of high profile activity for the organisation, which saw television appearances as well as a high-profile meeting.
