How Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies in Czech Republic: the national extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme, small-producer thresholds, eco-modulation, and deposit return system status. PPWR is directly applicable in Czech Republic from August 12, 2026.
EKO-KOM, well-established EPR system.
300 kg or 600 units.
No published national eco-modulation schedule; EKO-KOM publishes no recyclability axis. EPR registration and fees themselves apply from Aug 12, 2026, but harmonized grade-based modulation does not: the Art. 6(8) duty binds around mid-2031, 18 months after both the Art. 6(4) delegated acts (due Jan 1, 2028) and the Art. 6(5) implementing acts (due Jan 1, 2030) enter into force.
DRS bill died with the prior parliament; a near-identical bill was resubmitted at end-2025 with effectiveness postponed to early 2028 (consultation closed Jan 7, 2026). PPWR direct application Aug 2026.
