Agenda

How does the deposit-return system work and what needs to be done for it to be fully effective? Universality, simplicity, lack of exclusions. Who’s the payer, who's the earner – the cost of implementation for producers, retailers, and local government. The development of a logistics network, a management system, operators’ activities. The deposit-refund system vs. extended producer responsibility – the complementarity of both solutions. Consumer education and social aspects. Polish challenges and examples of good practice from Ireland, Germany, Scandinavia, and Benelux.
