The proposal suggested taxing new plastic materials at 2022 cents per pound of new plastic material starting from 10 cents, 2023 and increasing to 15 cents, 2024 year 20 cents in the year

How can plastic tax be offset?

The answer is: Having 30 % or more recycled plastic content

In the internationally recognized Global Recycled Standard GRS certification, it is explicitly stated that only pre-consumer ( pre-consumer recycled polybag ) PIR and post-consumer ( post-consumer recycled polybag ) PCR ) materials are considered recycled content. Therefore, 30% recycled、50% recycled、100% recycled refers to the proportion of recycled material by weight in a product or packaging

Post-consumer recycled plastic bags ( post-consumer recycled polybag ), are materials generated by households or commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities as end-product users, which can no longer be used for their intended purpose. This includes materials recovered from the distribution chain. That is, plastic bags recycled after consumer use, which have widely distributed crystal points, are transparent, and slightly darker in color

PIR Plastic bags are pre-consumer recycled polybag i.e., pre-consumer recycled plastic bags, materials diverted from the waste stream during the manufacturing process. This excludes the reuse of certain materials, such as rework, regrind, or residual materials generated in a processing operation and reintroduced into the same processing operation, meaning plastic bags that are recycled without consumer consumption

In summary, PCR 、 PIR plastic bags are those certified by GRS certification, or recyclable plastic bags, referring to plastic bags that meet customer requirements, comply with internationally recognized environmental standards, and are truly recyclable and regenerable, making them important products in eco-friendly packaging

TC certificate ( TransactionCertificate ) is an important document proving recycled materials. Transaction certificate TC TC ( TransactionCertificate ) is also an important way for institutions to supervise the entire supply chain's compliance with Global Recycled Standard GRS standard

Simply put, GRS certificate is an embodiment of a factory's qualification, meaning this factory is qualified to produce GRS products, but can also produce ordinary products. So, which products are ordinary? And which are recyclable?

Products with TC TC certificates are GRS recyclable materials! In other words, GRS GRS certificate is the factory's qualification proof, while the TC TC certificate is proof for a specific batch of goods

Therefore, TC the TC certificate will also contain specific information such as the product's recycled content and weight
