Starting May 5, 2026, Biedronka supermarkets updated their deposit return rules, introducing a digital e-Wallet via the Moja Biedronka app to replace traditional paper vouchers.
New Rules for Deposit Systems
The new regulations affect the deposit system involving plastic bottles, glass containers, and metal cans. Biedronka is integrating the return process with its mobile application.
The Digital e-Wallet Transition
The most significant change is the ability to save deposit funds in an e-Wallet within the “Moja Biedronka” app. Instead of a paper voucher, the value of returned packaging can be assigned to the user’s account.
To do this, the app code must be scanned before completing the operation at the machine. If the customer forgets, the system automatically issues a traditional voucher, and funds will not enter the e-Wallet.
Smartphone and App Requirements
This new solution works exclusively via the app. It is no longer possible to assign funds using only a phone number or a plastic loyalty card, making a smartphone essential for digital settlements.
Fund Expiration Terms
Funds accumulated in the e-Wallet can be used for future purchases but are not permanent. Each amount remains valid for 30 days from the moment of the return.
While funds are cumulative, each transaction carries its own individual expiration date.
