Fee due to late reporting

The late reporting fee is an annually determined and currently applicable fee set by the producer community, which the producer is obliged to pay according to the contractual terms if they report the information about the products they have placed on the market later than agreed upon. The management board of the producer community decides the currently applicable late reporting fees and payment terms. The fees can be viewed on the producer community's website once they have been decided. VAT is added to the fees in accordance with the currently applicable regulations.

Registration fee

The registration fee is an annually approved and currently applicable fee set by the producer community, which the producer is obligated to pay according to the contractual terms when joining the system. The registration fee is charged from those producers who are not already parties to an existing producer responsibility transfer agreement. The registration fee is a fee determined by the management board of the producer community. The fees can be viewed on the producer community's website once they have been decided. The registration fee is a one-time payment. VAT is added to the fee in accordance with the currently applicable regulations.

SUP fee

The SUP fee is an annually determined and currently applicable fee set by the producer community, which the producer introducing SUP products to the market is obligated to pay according to the contractual terms. The producer's payment is based on the quantity of SUP products brought to the market by the producer (EUR/ton) for a full calendar year (irrespective of the effective date of the agreement).
VAT is added to the fees in accordance with the currently applicable regulations. 

 

Why is the SUP fee paid?

The costs incurred in fulfilling producer responsibility according to waste legislation are covered by the producer responsibility fees paid by producers.

The waste legislation that came into effect on January 1, 2023, imposes additional obligations on producers, particularly those related to SUP producers.

The most significant cost impact comes from the fact that producers will bear the cost responsibility for waste management and cleaning activities related to SUP products implemented by municipalities.

In addition, producers are required to cover the costs of a littering survey conducted every three years and the implementation of consumer education relating to litter prevention.

The costs arising from these new responsibilities are covered by the SUP fees billed to producers.
