The share of recyclate in the introduced packaging – an article for the bi-monthly magazine Plastics in Przemyśl

We encourage you to read the article on the share of recyclate in the introduced packaging in the latest issue of the bi-monthly magazine Tworzywa Sztuczne w Przemyśl, in which Paweł Sosnowski, Management Board Representative for Environmental Regulations, Interzero mentions the Single Use Plastics Directive and the draft regulation on packaging and packaging waste.

The share of recyclate will be calculated as an average of beverage bottles for which such a share will be required, placed on the market in a given year. The directive therefore does not require the share of recyclate in each introduced bottle. Mandatory recyclate in beverage bottles is an important step in creating a circular economy. – recalls Pawel Sosnowski.

The new regulations will therefore be a great challenge for those introducing products in packaging, but also for the recycling industry. They will improve the quality of recyclate, where the quality is currently insufficient, but will also force further investments in recycling installations that will ensure that the demand for recyclate is covered at least at the level of the required shares in packaging. A big challenge will be to provide recyclate that will meet the stringent requirements for its use in the production of packaging sensitive to contact. – sums up Pawel Sosnowski.

Entrepreneur! Do you know how changes in the waste law will affect your business?

Amendments to the law often affect the current functioning and obligations of entrepreneurs. What should entrepreneurs prepare for this year?

We invite you to read the latest interview with Paweł Sosnowski, the representative of the management board for environmental regulations at Interzero, for the Teraz Środowisko portal, in which it corresponds to the changes awaiting entrepreneurs.

First of all, work on the draft act on limiting the use of single-use plastic products is nearing completion. It is a transposition of the provisions of the directive commonly referred to as single use plastics (SUP). These regulations are likely to enter into force at the turn of the first and second quarters of this year. Companies introducing selected types of single-use plastic products will have the greatest impact. – said Pawel Sosnowski

In addition to the directive regulating SUP, it is worth considering the deposit system that will come into force in Poland from 2025.

The premise of the act is to leave as much freedom to entrepreneurs as possible in creating a deposit-refund system. The boundary conditions included in the draft assume, however, that the system is to cover the entire country and is to be open to all entrepreneurs introducing products in packaging covered by the deposit and commercial entities that will want to join it. – convinces Pawel Sosnowski
