Amendments to the regulations implementing the bail system in Poland and changes to waste management
On 14 February, a press conference was held during which Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment Anita Sowinska talked more about waste management solutions, changes to the BDO system, as well as the bail-in system planned from 2025.
During the event, the Deputy Minister stressed that the bail system, as envisaged, would start from the beginning of 2025, but that we can expect amendments regarding the operators of the system. The ministry representative stressed that the changes would only be "technical". It will be about the obligations and documents submitted to control the system.
A consultation meeting with the industry will be held on 5 March, local government officials and trade representatives on changes to the bail law. The deputy minister added that the bail system, although it will start from 1 January 2025, "it may not be perfect from the very beginning because the law needs some adjustments".
The deputy minister also reported on the planned changes to the BDO system. The modernisation will respond to the main needs of the users of this system. Changes will include, among others, the development of the Reporting Module and the introduction of new functionalities in the Account Management Module.
Participants at the press conference were also presented with an expanded line-up of Advisory Group on waste management solutions. The advisory staff will include: Lewiatan Confederation, UNEP/GRID-Warsaw, INNOWO Institute for Innovation and Responsible Development, Polish Chamber of Waste Management, Polish Recycling Association and the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, as well as more representatives from the business side, mainly from the recycling industry, and NGOs and institutes.
