Amendment to the Act on the Management of Packaging and Packaging Waste
Act of June 13, 2013 on the management of packaging and packaging waste introduced provisions on the inclusion of certain beverage packaging in the deposit system. Deposit systems were to be launched, in accordance with the provisions of this Act, from January 2025. However, for their proper functioning, it turned out to be necessary, in accordance with the postulates submitted, among others, by entrepreneurs introducing beverages in packages, to introduce a number of additional changes to the Act.
