The Climate Change Levy - the fight goes on The BPF has expressed its disappointment at the Chancellor's refusal to listen to the experience and advice of the UK Plastics Industry with regard to his determination to legislate for a Climate Change Levy. Peter Davis, Director General at the BPF comments: "It is deeply disappointing that the Chancellor has done nothing to limit the damage that will be done to competitiveness in our industry by the Climate Change Levy. "We support the need for energy reduction— indeed plastics has reduced energy consumption by 27% over 10 years —but the Levy is a fundamentally flawed means of achieving this key aim. The BPF will continue to fight for a better deal for our industry through the debate on the Finance Bill."
