🧭 Who must comply?

🏷️ Entities placing EEE on the Polish market

If you manufacture under your brand, rebrand, import, or otherwise place EEE on the Polish market, you typically fall under “wprowadzający sprzęt” obligations.

🌍 Non-Polish distance sellers (e-commerce into Poland)

If you sell EEE into Poland from outside Poland via distance communication, the law requires you to operate through an authorized representative (autoryzowany przedstawiciel) in Poland for in-country obligations.

✅ Core WEEE EPR obligations in Poland

1) 🗂️ Register and operate in the BDO system

BDO is Poland’s official platform for registration, records, and reporting; it enables fully electronic completion of registration, recordkeeping, and reporting duties.

2) 🧾 Use your registration number on documents

The WEEE Act requires the registration number on invoices and other documents linked to placing EEE on the market (including the authorized representative number where applicable).

3) 🧠 Provide consumer information

For household EEE, you must include information on:

• not disposing WEEE with mixed waste (and what the marking means),
• environmental/health impacts of hazardous components,
• available collection/return systems and the household’s role in reuse/recycling.

4) 🏷️ Label EEE with the selective collection symbol

EEE must be marked with the selective collection symbol (template referenced in Annex 2 of the Act), placed clearly and durably (or on packaging/docs when justified).

5) 📣 Run or fund public educational campaigns

Placing EEE on the market triggers an obligation to conduct public education campaigns (directly or via a recovery organization), with minimum funding rules in the Act.

6) 📚 Keep additional records and retain evidence

You must keep additional records (including mass of EEE placed on the market), use them to evidence performance, and retain records and WEEE certificates for 5 years.

7) 🏭 Have treatment arrangements in place

The Act requires a written contract with an appropriate processing facility for dismantling/preparation for reuse of WEEE generated from your equipment group(s).

🛍️ Take-back rule that impacts retail and customer support

Retailers with at least 400 m² dedicated to household EEE sales must accept small WEEE (no external dimension over 25 cm) free of charge, without requiring a purchase.

This affects returns flows, store policies, and customer messaging.

🗓️ Reporting and deadlines (BDO)

Many environmental reports submitted via BDO (including waste and product/packaging reporting modules) are filed electronically by 15 March for the previous calendar year—depending on which obligations apply to your business model.

🔎 What strong compliance looks like (audit-ready traceability)

• Clear role classification (Poland-established vs. foreign distance seller with authorized representative).
• Accurate product mapping to the relevant equipment groups and weight logic.
• Document discipline: invoices/docs show the correct registration number; labeling + consumer info are consistent across channels.
• Evidence library: contracts, records, certificates retained and searchable for 5 years.
