Countdown before the mandatory redemption system is fully activated
Manufacturers have less than a month, until June 30, 2024, to ignore the rules for products with a mandatory redemption fee and to market products that are otherwise subject to the DRS (Deposit Refund System). Compliance with the new regulation will mean a price increase of HUF 50 per product, which the consumer will have to bear – unless he returns the beverage cans and bottles in question. We compile the detailed rules with the help of the Jalsovszky Law Office.
DRS, i.e. the mandatory redemption system, has been gradually coming into effect since last fall. Products covered by the DRS (except for milk products and packaging of glass, metal or plastic bottled or boxed beverage products with a capacity between 1 deciliter and 3 liters) are considered products subject to a mandatory redemption fee, for which the new system requires various notification and fee payment obligations. introduced related provisions.
As of November 15 of last year, the manufacturers were burdened with the obligation of registration – in effect licensing – for the affected products. Market participants were granted a reprieve from this until July 2024. However, it is already too late for those who have not yet started preparing for the transition, as the registration must be made to the concession partner (MOHU Zrt.) at least 45 days before the launch.
“Without proper registration, DRS products cannot be placed on the market, and the national waste management authority – in addition to the application of other sanctions – will also compulsorily recall products that have not been placed on the market properly”
– points out Henrik Bereznai, Jalsovszky’s lawyer.
