The introduction of a deposit system in Poland is an immense undertaking that aims to reduce the amount of waste and improve the circularity of the Polish economy. The system opens a new chapter in the sustainable development pursuit. The system has the potential to improve the efficiency of packaging segregation and recovery, which are key to achieving ecological goals. A challenge that Polish entrepreneurs and consumers they have to face,  as the deposit sytem may change many habits and routines. Research shows that almost 90% of Poles support the idea of introducing a deposit system.
