Poland’s Ministry of Climate and Environment lowers 2025 recycling requirements for municipalities from 55% to 50%.
New Recycling Targets
The Ministry of Climate and Environment (MKiŚ) has announced a reduction in recycling requirements for municipalities for 2025, lowering the target from 55% to 50%. This change has been in effect since the middle of last year.
Reporting Deadlines
Municipal leaders, including mayors and city presidents, must submit waste management reports for 2025 to the voivode’s marshal and provincial environmental inspector by the end of March this year.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Failing to meet the required recycling levels will result in penalties for municipalities that do not achieve the new 50% target.
