FAQ

Why do batteries need to be recycled?

Batteries and accumulators contain valuable raw materials, but sometimes also hazardous substances that can harm the environment. To prevent this and to be able to recover secondary raw materials, old and defective batteries must be disposed of separately. From the designated collection points in retail, municipalities and trade, the batteries are first sorted and then recycled.

A circular economy is a production and consumption model that seeks to make rational use of resources and minimize negative environmental impacts. Under GOZ, materials and raw materials should remain in circulation as long as possible, and waste generation should be minimized. In Poland, we generate 120 million tons of waste annually, so the introduction of GOZ is important. In 2019, the Council of Ministers adopted the "Roadmap for Transformation to a Closed Cycle Economy." Valuable activities include remanufacturing, renewable energy and waste minimization what ERP Poland is doing as part of its activities. It is worth noting that the EU is also supporting the transition to circular economy through the so-called "Waste Package," an amendment to directives on waste management.

What is a product fee?

The product fee applies to entrepreneurs who market SEiE, packaging or packaged products, batteries and accumulators in Poland. In practice, this means that manufacturers, importers, online retailers, exporters, recovery organizations and catering establishments are subject to the fee. Its purpose is to promote the recycling and recovery of packaging to protect the environment from pollution. In practice, the product fee is a penalty for failure to fulfill the introducer's statutory obligations to organize collection, recycling, conduct public education campaigns and report to the Marshal's Office. The amount of the product fee depends on the type and weight of products introduced into the market. The obligation to pay the fee arises at the end of the calendar year, and the due date is March 15 of the year following the year to which the product fee applies.

What is the BDO number?

The BDO number is the assigned registration number that serves as proof of the registration of the manufacturer, the brand and the type of electrical or electronic equipment carried out in the country of manufacture. It thus simultaneously serves to identify the manufacturer, and must be displayed on invoices.

What are the obligations of manufacturers?

Manufacturers placing portable batteries on the market are obliged to organize and finance collection and recycling of waste batteriers. Before placing batteries on the market, producers must register with BDO, stating the brand and the respective battery type.
