Following the example of the German Pfand deposit system, a similar solution is also to be introduced in Poland. Initially, it was planned to be launched on 1 January 2025, but entrepreneurs objected, indicating that they needed more time to adapt to the new requirements. Therefore, it has been decided that the bail system in Poland will be introduced as of 1 October 2025. What are its main assumptions...?

For the country, joining the Schengen area means the abolition of border controls at internal borders with other Member States. This facilitates the free movement of people, goods, services and capital. For transport companies, this means less paperwork and faster deliveries. And will waste hauliers be affected by these changes when the Romanian and Bulgarian borders are opened to them from 1 January?...
According to EU reports, more than a third of the waste generated in Europe is construction and demolition waste. Some of their components have a high raw material value, while others - although they may have a lower value - can still be easily recycled into new products or materials. That is why the Act of 17 November 2021 introduced amendments to the Waste Act, which require businesses to...
We have already written about a Lithuanian haulier who paid a high price for knowingly taking a risk by carrying out illegal waste transports. However, there are companies that, tempted by the vision of profits, operate in the dark, not realising the need for proper authorisation. As a result, only the haulier profits, getting rid of the cargo and the responsibility, which he passes on to the carrier. Why do these situations continue to ...

The draft amendment of the Act on Posting of Drivers and Certain Other Acts was adopted by the Council of Ministers in the second half of August this year. The initiator of the changes was the Ministry of Infrastructure. It motivated its proposal for more effective monitoring and control of foreign carriers by strengthening the protection of Polish carriers against unfair and unequal competition from non-EU countries. A relevant amendment has already been published in the Journal of Laws,...
Recycling used tyres is difficult but necessary. All the more so as, according to statistics, nearly 300 million tonnes of this waste are dumped in the EU every year. Unfortunately, only less than 13% of it is recycled. How are we doing with tyre recycling and how do we compare to other EU countries? What is tyre recycling? Recycling...
The lack of experienced drivers capable of handling the supply chain in many industries is not a new problem. It was signalled by hauliers' organisations several years ago. At the time, attempts were made to plug the gaps by hiring drivers from across the eastern border. However, this was a temporary solution, as the problem is growing again. How will it affect (or is it already affecting) the waste industry? And what...
Successful waste management depends on several factors. One of them is the cooperation between producers and transport companies. An experienced producer should know which documents to prepare. The haulier, on the other hand, must be authorised to deliver anywhere in Europe. What else should they pay attention to, so that cooperation between them runs smoothly? Waste transport - what does a manufacturer...
