UK implements "grocery tax" to curb packaging waste, costing households up to £56 more yearly.

The UK is implementing a new "grocery tax" called the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), which will charge retailers and manufacturers for packaging waste. This is expected to add up to £56 annually to household costs, aiming to reduce waste and meet net zero targets. Critics say it will increase food costs and contribute to inflation, while proponents argue it will boost recycling and create jobs.
