[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”164570″]Poland has implemented strict extended producer responsibility (EPR)<\/strong> regulations to ensure that manufacturers and distributors are responsible for the entire life cycle of their products. Foreign companies not based in Poland in particular must meet these requirements to avoid legal consequences. We inform you about the EPR obligations in Poland.<\/p>\n Companies that place products such as packaging, electronic devices or batteries<\/strong> on the Polish market are obliged to register with the national environmental protection agency, submit regular reports and pay fees for collection and recycling. Foreign companies without a branch in Poland also bear full responsibility. In particular, companies that sell their waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) directly to Polish customers via distance selling methods such as online shops or sales platforms are obliged to appoint an Authorized Representative in Poland<\/strong> who will assume their legal obligations. <\/p>\n Failure to comply with EPR regulations in Poland can result in significant penalties. Fines can range from PLN 15,000 to PLN 500,000, which is a range of EUR 3,500 to EUR 115,000<\/strong> . Additionally, sales bans and other legal measures can be taken that can significantly affect business activities. <\/p>\n Companies have various options to meet their EPR obligations in Poland. Interzero has offices in many European countries, including Poland, which allows us to offer expert knowledge in the respective markets. <\/p>\n Your company has a branch<\/em> in Poland? <\/strong><\/p>\n Your company has NO branch<\/em> in Poland?<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t miss any deadlines and ensure your legal compliance.
