Press Secretary of the Ministry of the environment Paul Mucha said in an interview with REUTERS that the draft law “about the economy packaging and packaging waste” currently in the public hearing and was not accepted by the government.
the representative of the Ministry added that this project in the amount of 1 rubles – the maximum fee that can be applied for the production of plastic bags. “These are preliminary suggestions. In the project we had to determine the maximum ceiling of such a charge. The exact cost will be, but the set in the decree of the Minister. While it is difficult to determine what it will cost, but it must be several times lower,” he said.
the Press Secretary added that the popular skid, there are bags designed particularly for packing vegetables and fruits will continue to be free.
Changes in Polish legislation related to the Directive in 2015, which committed member States to reduce the consumption of consumers of lightweight plastic shopping bags.
Directive provided two options for the implementation of laws. The first is the introduction, until 31 December 2018. payment for the offered bags while simultaneously freeing them from the Board for a very light bag so-called skid; the second is the achievement of adequate levels of consumption bags per capita (90 bags by the end of 2019 and 40 bags by the end of 2025).
Resort environment, he chose the first solution. As stated in the project narrative, additional charge for lightweight plastic bag will be added to the existing prices of such bags, or it is the main Board. This decision, said the Ministry has to scare off customers for use with foliówek. Tariffs should be introduced in 1 January 2019.
Customers, are currently most often wydawaną in the shopping bag, that is, the thickness of 50 microns they pay 1 UAH. In turn, a small bag for thickness of 15 microns will be free.
Final rate must be specified in the Ordinance of the law, and its height will be determined – as explained by resort – after conducting tests, which will take into account the specifics of the Polish market, or the purchasing power of income.
in Accordance with the draft law, the rates will be transmitted through the shops on accounts of marshals of voivodeships. Then, the funds received by the national Fund of Environmental Protection and Water management. Of this money is 1%. will constitute the revenue of local government. The rest has to be allocated for financing activities related to waste management, prevention of their occurrence and environmental education.
in order to control the amount of bags put into circulation, the shops will be required to submit the appropriate reports marszałkom provinces.
the Ministry reminded that the idea of paying for disposable bags in Poland is not new. Part of stores in 2009-2010, refused the free distribution of packages entering their odpłatność level from 5 to 20 gr. apiece. According to estimates, the need to pay for bags caused the limitation of their application. 36 per cent., with around 470 to 300 bags per capita per year.
in accordance with the data of the world Cup, now the Poles consume on average 250-270 plastic bags per year, in turn, the average European 200. According to the European Commission, in 2010. on average, one Polish, Portuguese or Słowaka amounted to 490 foliówek, German, 70, fin, or Dane only 4.
According to the regulatory impact assessment of the project of the novel States that one of the standard solutions purchase problems jednorazówek considers the idea of the Irish. In the year 2002. the local government decided on the introduction of special duties on the foil – 0.15 Euro (currently it is EUR 0.22). The resulting money was spent on the implementation of projects for waste management. Up to the date of entry into force of these rules, the “green island” zużywano per year 1.2 billion plastic bags. After payment, the consumption of packets dropped by approx. 90%.
