The deposit system act will come into effect on October 1, 2025, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday at a conference after the government meeting. He added that the government still needs time to properly prepare for the implementation of this system.
Donald Tusk announced on Tuesday at a press conference after the government meeting about the postponement of the start of the savings system in Poland. It was originally scheduled to begin on January 1, 2024.
– The Ministry of Climate and Environment was given a few more months to prepare it, so that people do not lose anything – neither comfort nor money. I believe that on October 1 we will be much better prepared for this, said Donald Tusk.

The Prime Minister noted that the adoption of the law in this regard is not enough. The entire state, including local governments, businesses and consumers, must also be prepared to “make sure that this practice is not painful or painful for employees and owners of business establishments, including small establishments.”
As Tusk said, the government wants the new rules to help protect the environment as much as possible. – In order to fully prepare it, it is still necessary to do something that people do not miss and have 100 percent. sure you can return the package and get your deposit back, he said.
He added that this document is very complicated and the experience of other European countries with the system of savings “is different”. – This is a very difficult project, it requires full awareness of all and clear regulations, and therefore this document will come into force on October 1, – Tusk emphasized.
