Wet wipes

Producer responsibility applies, regardless of the sales method, to single-use plastic products, specifically to wet wipes for personal hygiene and consumer-use, with the manufacturer or importer of the product considered as the producer. The cost responsibility of the producer applies to the producers of single-use wet wipes containing plastic from January 1, 2025. The wet wipes producer must submit a notification of joining the producer register no later than June 30, 2024.

Producers of single-use plastic wet wipes containing plastic are responsible for the costs incurred for the municipality for cleaning up litter caused by these products, as well as for the transportation and processing of the cleaned litter. In 2025, wet wipe producers will be required to cover 1% of the costs according to the composition study. In 2026, the amount of cost responsibility will be based on the actual costs reported by the municipalities. Wet wipe producers are also required to carry out information and educational activities. Producers must provide information and guidance on reducing the amount and harmfulness of waste, the effects and prevention of littering and, if necessary, available reusable alternatives for the product. Producers must, if needed, organize information and guidance in collaboration with the municipality and other waste management entities.
