On January 1, 2024, the mandatory packaging material exchange system will start in Hungary.
Based on the detailed rules that have just been published, all beverages in glass, metal and plastic bottles and cans with a capacity between one deciliter and three liters will be included in the range of products subject to a mandatory redemption fee, with the exception of milk and milk-based beverage products, including the packaging of wine products belonging to this category too.
Those wineries where the volume of products sold in this way does not exceed 5,000 units per year are exempted from the new regulation. Products subject to regulation must be registered and marketed in the manner stipulated in the legislation.
The regulation provides an opportunity for retailers to place products previously manufactured without the application of this legislation on the shelves until June 30, 2024 and distribute them until the stock is exhausted, the ministry pointed out.
