Regulation on Waste Management Fees and the Deposit Refund Scheme

Regulation on Waste Management Fees and the Deposit Refund Scheme

The document contains AmCham's comments for improving the proposal for the Regulation on Waste Management Fees and Refundable Fees.

AmCham warns that the new draft Regulation on Waste Management and Deposit Fee may increase production costs and burden domestic producers. The Regulation introduces different packaging labels for domestic and export markets, complicating logistics and raising expenses. It recommends clearer definitions of special calculations, coefficients, and fee amounts, as well as the introduction of a transition period to adapt business plans. AmCham emphasizes the importance of stakeholder dialogue for a sustainable and fair waste management system.
