Abstract: This article draws attention to the European Council's decision to introduce in 2021 the tax on non- recycled plastic packaging waste. The article analyzes the potential revenues generated by the application of the tax, the ambiguities related to the fiscal proposal and the implementation mechanism, as well as the ways of implementing the tax in Romania and the obstacles it may encounter. The effect of the tax will also be debated, with the national contribution of plastics providing at least an indirect impact for EU Member States. take measures to reduce non-recycled plastic packaging waste. However, it is noted that the tax will not have the effect of a double dividend: a tax benefit and an environmental benefit, it would only be complementary to the direct legal incentives already established in EU environmental legislation.
