In 2025, an increasing number of entrepreneurs in Poland face the obligation to register in BDO — the Database on Products, Packaging and Waste Management. Regulatory scrutiny continues to intensify, and penalties for failing to register range from PLN 5,000 up to PLN 1,000,000.
This means that both small businesses and larger companies—many of which are hearing about BDO for the first time—must quickly ensure compliance, maintain proper records, and submit all required reports.
Why BDO Compliance Cannot Be Ignored Today
🔸 Growing Number of Inspections
Companies across various sectors receive notifications of inspections from WIOŚ (Environmental Inspectorate) and other supervisory bodies. Authorities verify not only whether a company is registered in BDO but also whether documentation, reporting and waste classification are correct.
🔸 Fines Imposed Even for Minor Errors
Issues such as incorrect waste codes, outdated data, or late reporting can lead to financial penalties—even when violations were unintentional.
🔸 Many Entrepreneurs Do Not Realize They Are Obligated to Register
BDO obligations apply not only to manufacturers, but also to:
• online stores,
• beauty salons,
• transport and logistics companies,
• importers,
• service providers,
• businesses placing packaged products or goods on the Polish market.
If a company generates or handles waste, or places packaging on the market, it most likely falls under BDO requirements.
🔸 Responsibility Lies Not Only with the Company, but Also with Management
Legal and financial responsibility may extend to the business owner or board members.
