Are you or are you not a producer of packaging or non-packaging products?

If you are not sure whether the obligations of a producer of packaging or non-packaging products under the Waste Act apply to you, test yourself in five simple questions:

  1. Do you produce products that you package and sell in Slovakia?
  2. Do you package or have your goods bearing your brand name packaged and then sell them in Slovakia?
  3. Do you import packaged goods from abroad to Slovakia and then sell or provide them free of charge?
  4. Are you a retailer who packages the goods your customers have bought from you, or do you offer packaging to final consumers so that they can package the goods themselves? (plastic bags, paper bags, disposable food packaging, etc.)
  5. Do you produce or import plastic, paper or glass products that are sold or supplied free of charge to final consumers in Slovakia?
