We provide comprehensive support to companies to fully comply with the new waste management obligations under the current legal regulations.
In line with EU waste management directives, Hungarian waste management rules changed significantly from July 2023. In addition to the environmental product charge, companies had to get familiar with a new term, as the extended producer responsibility affects a wide range of businesses. All companies concerned need to prepare in good time for the radical changes in the waste management system, as the new system imposed registration, record-keeping, and payment obligations on them.
The EU waste policy’s clear objective is that the waste management activities required at the end of a product's life cycle – such as collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal – should be the responsibility of the producers of the product, including the payment obligations.
This is called the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system. The Hungarian implementation follows the EU Directive and, through the introduction of extended producer responsibility, places related financing obligations on the producer of the product.
This fee is known as EPR fee in Hungary, and its due date in 2023 is the 20th of October. I Want TO CONTACT AN EXPERT
The EPR fee will be payable upon first domestic transfer of ownership of circular products, at the rate set out in the decree.
