Stricter UK waste rules or Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) could add disposal and recycling fees-estimates suggest EPR could increase costs for plastics makers by £5-15m annually across the sector. If government housing policy shifts toward timber or low-carbon materials, demand for PVC-U windows in social housing (≈15-20% of UK new build glazing) could fall, pressuring volumes.
