The Polish Market for Municipal Waste Affords High Potentials

Especially the guidelines of the EU landfill directive and of the waste framework directive increase the pressure on the Polish waste management to change the disposal structures. Experts already assume that Poland will not manage many of the short and medium term deadlines and has to expect to pay high fines partly, despite of exceptions and temporally delay by the EU. There is a strong need to catch up, and in the coming years substantial investments into the retrofit and new construction of treatment, recovery and disposal facilities have to be effected.

There is a rising amount of collected waste. It has to be announced that not only the will of the population regarding collection of waste material has slightly improved but also the state initiated important steps for the implementation of EU directives. According to a survey to experts the implementation occurs very slowly. Since January 1st 2011, for instance, an obligation to make waste available to the local authority exists. However, this is to be expected for the middle of 2011 at the earliest. So far households have free choice by their waste disposal contractors. Therefore it is often impossible to collect all waste because the households searched for their own ways of disposal. The new arrangement will cause a higher contingent of collected waste.
