As one of the last EU countries Poland’s new WEEE Act will come into force on 1 January 2016 and transposes the provisions of the Recast WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.
The new Act contains among other things a revised scope, increased collection targets, re-use, distributors take-back obligations and appointment of Authorized Representatives.
One of these important changes to Polish WEEE implementation is:
Poland eliminated the possibility for producers to transfer the take-back obligation to a compliance scheme. However, compliance schemes still continue to meet the obligation under contract with the producer.
