The draft Regulation sets out the rates of the fee charged by the entrepreneur operating a retail, wholesale, or catering unit where single-use plastic products are offered such as beverage cups and food containers being a packaging, or beverages or food packaged by that entrepreneur in those products, from the end user purchasing the above-mentioned products, or beverages or food in those products.
The draft Regulation sets out the following repayment rates per item of the product:
PLN 0.20 — in the case of beverage cups, including their covers and lids;
PLN 0.25 — in the case of food containers, including containers such as boxes, with or without a lid, used to contain food that is:
a) intended for direct consumption, on-site or take-away;
b) usually consumed directly from the container; and
ready for consumption without further processing such as processing, cooking, or heating;
— including fast food containers or other meals ready for immediate consumption with the exception of beverage containers, plates and packages and wrappers containing food.
9. The Act of 11 May 2001 on the obligations of entrepreneurs with regard to the management of certain waste and on the product fee sets out the maximum rate of the fee for single-use plastic products being a packaging, and includes an authorisation to issue a regulation setting the rates of the fee per item of the above-mentioned product. On the other hand, the introduction of the fee in question transposed Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2019/904 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment.
