After returning the empty, appropriately marked packaging to the collection point, you get your deposit back (cash\/voucher). Process: purchase \u2192 return \u2192 deposit payment.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-odbior-opakowan\">Who will collect the packaging?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Shops over 200 m\u00b2 (mandatory), smaller shops selling reusable glass (mandatory for these bottles), small voluntary shops, deposit machines and other collection points. Each municipality will provide at least one permanent collection point.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-opakowania-po-mleku\">What about milk cartons?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        At the start, milk\/juice cartons (multi-material packaging) are not covered by the deposit. They should be thrown into the appropriate selective fraction (in accordance with the municipality&apos;s rules).\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-szklo-z-kaucja\">What about glass bottles that already had a deposit?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Existing returnable bottles (e.g. beer bottles) can be returned as usual. Ultimately, manufacturers will adapt their labeling to the new rules to standardize settlements in the system.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-jak-sprawdzic-objecie\">How to check if the package is covered by a deposit?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Look for the deposit system designation and deposit amount information on the label\/packaging. No sign = no refund possible.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-sposoby-oddawania\">What are the ways to return packaging?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Manual return at the checkout\/service point, return at a collection point or at a Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) that scans and accepts the packaging.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-paragon\">Do I need a receipt to get my deposit back?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        No, a receipt is not required. You can return the packaging at any point covered by the system.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-uszkodzone\">What if the packaging is crushed or damaged?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        The packaging should be empty and identifiable (readable label\/code). It may not be accepted if it is severely crushed, cut or has no label.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-cena-na-polce\">Is the deposit included in the shelf price?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        The store presents the product price and clear information about the deposit. The deposit usually appears as a separate item on the receipt.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-nie-oddam\">What happens if I don&apos;t return the packaging?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        The deposit is forfeited and goes to fund the system. Returning packaging is a real financial and environmental benefit.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-cele\">What are the environmental goals of the system?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Reaching the selective collection level of min. 77% (from 2025) and 90% (from 2029) and an increase in the share of recyclate in new plastic packaging.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-male-sklepy\">Do small shops have to participate?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Shops under 200 m\u00b2 can join voluntarily (except for the mandatory collection of reusable glass bottles if they sell them).\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-kontrola\">Who controls the operation of the system?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Supervision is exercised by the relevant state authorities (including the Ministry of Environmental Protection). Operators and collection points keep records and settle deposits.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-technologie\">What technologies will be at collection points?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        RVM machines that recognize packages by codes and characteristics (scanners, scales), print confirmations or calculate refunds electronically; in smaller stores \u2013 manual reception.\n      <\/p>\n\n      <h3 id=\"q-wiele-naraz\">Can I return multiple packages at once?<\/h3>\n      <p>\n        Yes.
