Governments around the world and in South Africa are beginning to put a price on carbon, either through taxation or with a trading scheme. Companies will have to start disclosing and reporting on their annual carbon emissions. The plastic industry should therefore understand the issues surrounding climate change that affect their businesses. These include: carbon emission measurement, monitoring and reductions, carbon markets, carbon trading, offsetting strategies, as well as how carbon taxation will affect the industry.
