Polish government will support recycling market

The Polish government will soon propose legal solutions regarding the so-called extended producer responsibility (EPR).
"We have been discussing and analyzing the issue for some time. In the second half of August we will propose regulatory solutions," Sławomir Mazurek, Deputy Minister of Environment responsible for waste management, announces.
EPR is a mechanism postulated by the European Union. The companies placing plastic packaging on the market will be liable for its subsequent management.
According to Deloitte’s estimations, the plastic market in Poland is worth PLN 80 billion, while the packaging market itself, as stated by the Polish Chamber of Packaging, may have a value of as much as PLN 40 billion.
