The introduction of a cash deposit system in Poland is a huge financial and logistical challenge that awaits entrepreneurs in the coming years.
What will change? The cash deposit system is a way to collect used beverage packaging from the market. An additional fee (deposit) will be added to selected beverages at the checkout. The deposit will be refunded to the consumer when they return the used (empty) packaging to the store. The amount of the deposit paid by the consumer will be specified on each packaging. Consumers will be able to return used packaging throughout the country without showing a purchase receipt.
The system is set to start operating from 2025.
