Franchisee Product Fee: How Much Is It and How to Avoid It?<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”117566″]Entrepreneurs running franchise outlets often offer their customers drinks and food in single-use takeaway packaging. Such packaging is subject to a recycling obligation or a product fee (in the event of failure to achieve the required level of recycling), which should be paid by the franchisee, not the franchisor. How much is the product fee and can the franchisee avoid it?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”-2″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”207788″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”136083″]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”198318″]Running a franchise outlet takes many of the responsibilities off the entrepreneur. The franchisee usually doesn’t have to worry about developing their own business model, designing new services, expanding their product portfolio, or acquiring technical support and IT tools. These and other tasks specified in the agreement are usually performed by the franchise partner in exchange for cyclical license fees. However, it should be remembered that the franchisor does not take over all of the franchisee’s responsibilities<\/strong> – if you run a franchise outlet, you still have to fulfill, for example, environmental obligations<\/strong> resulting from the act on the management of packaging and packaging waste. One of them is the obligation to achieve the required level of recycling or pay a product fee for the introduced packaging.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”841839″]<\/p>\n

It can do this in two ways: by ensuring the recycling of this waste or by paying a product fee for each kilogram of the unrealized level of recycling. Contrary to appearances, This obligation applies not only to producers, but also to franchisees who sell drinks and food in takeaway packaging. <\/strong>. Je\u015bli prowadzisz punkt franczyzowy, w kt\u00f3rym sprzedajesz np. kaw\u0119, posi\u0142ki lub przek\u0105ski w opakowaniach, to obowi\u0105zek rozliczenia si\u0119 z tych opakowa\u0144 spoczywa na Tobie, a nie na franczyzodawcy.
