Emilia, Confindustria attacked by the plastic tax: "This reduces employment and active businesses"

BOLOGNA – "Confindustria Emilia area center is firmly opposed to the introduction of the plastic tax envisaged by the Government in the budget law, a tax that particularly affects the Emilia-Romagna region, the cradle of the packaging valley, which hosts the largest number of companies in the sector in Italy, 230 with over 17,000 employees and an annual turnover of five billion euros, equal to 63% of the national turnover ". This is underlined by the president of Confindustria Emilia, the Modena area Valter Caiumi, in the context of the debate on the plastic tax that the governor of the same Democratic Party re-nominated Stefano Bonaccini has already worried about in the Emilia-Romagna elections

Bonaccini attacks: "Plastic tax and company cars, measures to change"

Across Europe from France to Germany, contextualized in a Caiumi note, "five-year plans have been activated to encourage the use of recycled plastic, to stimulate innovation and reduce the impact of non-recycled plastic by 2025". Instead, "with this tax, in five years in Italy we will not have improved any production process and we will have reduced employment and active businesses. Once again – complains the industrialist – there is no industrial policy close to the politics of the circularity of the economy, which it should bring value. These excessively burdensome actions do not produce culture or give the opportunity to start new innovative actions to have medium to long term solutions. In essence, according to Caiumi, as reported by the agency Dire, "we are faced with a hasty calculation to square the year-end maneuver, without feasibility studies of what is being hit and the effects on the real economy".
