Recycling costs pit producers against distributors

in Poland due to The Act on Recycling of White Goods, which enters into force on July 1. The new law forces producers to build recycling networks and allows them to cover the costs of the investment by levying a so-called recycling fee, which can be either separately charged or included in production cost. Many leading while goods producers and importers support the idea. But a conflict has arisen between the producers and dealers, with dealers even threatening to boycott those producers who would insist on their solution. They explain that separation of the recycling costs from the production costs would cost them millions as they need to modify their IT systems. Producers are afraid the truth is that dealers want to hide the real costs of recycling in order to be able to add higher margins by the way of introducing the fee. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) J.L.
