How Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies in Hungary: the national extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme, small-producer thresholds, eco-modulation, and deposit return system status. PPWR is directly applicable in Hungary from August 12, 2026.
OHÜ (National Waste Management Coordinator), centralized state system.
~200 kg/year.
No published national eco-modulation schedule. 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.
Centralized state system. DRS launched 2024. PPWR direct application Aug 2026.
