Changes in the Act regarding deposit system in Poland
On March 7, a press conference was held during which the Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment, Anita Sowińska, talked about the proposed changes to the deposit system.
What will change?
- Deposit without VAT. Both single-use and reusable packaging will be exempt from VAT.
- The deposit will “follow” the packaging. Just like in other countries with a deposit system.
- The deposit amount is PLN 50 for plastic packaging and metal cans and PLN 1 for glass bottles.
- Obligation to accept reusable glass packaging by small shops that sell such drinks.
- Inclusion of packaging for dairy products from 2026.
- Incorporation of standard reusable glass packaging.
- Harmonized system for labeling returnable packaging – a common symbol for returnable packaging and a barcode.
