4. 2024/0290/PL - S10E - Packaging

5. Regulation of the Minister for Climate and the Environment on the amount of the deposit for certain types of packaging covered by the deposit and return system.

6. the amount of the deposit for packaging covered by the deposit and return system
disposable plastic beverage bottles with a capacity of up to three litres
– metal cans with a capacity of up to one litre,
reusable glass bottles with a capacity of up to one and a half litres

7.

8. The draft regulation specifies the amount of the deposit:
(1) disposable plastic bottles with a capacity of up to three litres, including their plastic caps and lids, excluding glass or metal beverage bottles with plastic caps and lids – PLN 0.50 per package,
(2) metal cans with a capacity of up to one litre – PLN 0.50 per package.
(3) glass bottles up to one and a half litres - PLN 1.00 per package.

9. The regulation is based on Article 40m(2) of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Management Act.
Failure to determine the amount of the deposit would paralyse preparations for the launch of the system. Operators introducing beverages in packaging covered by the deposit and return system at the time of joining the system would not be able to indicate on the labels of the products introduced that the product is covered by the system and the amount of the deposit to be charged at the time of sale. Retailers and customers would not know whether the product they buy is covered by the system and how much the deposit should be, and then be refunded when the packaging is returned.
The proposed deposit levels are considered to be socially acceptable, as they are not so high that consumers would refuse to buy beverages in containers covered by the system. On the other hand, they are attractive enough to encourage the return of packaging.
The deposit rate for reusable glass bottles will be an amount that is easy for users to remember, as it is based on the habits of the old informal bottle return system.
For retailers, the adopted rate will be a simple financial operation, as the return of the deposit will not require the additional use of money and the possession of large quantities of assorted coins needed to return the deposit.
