🇭🇺 Hungary: PPWR Packaging EPR and Deposit Return

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.

EPR scheme

OHÜ (National Waste Management Coordinator), centralized state system.

Small-producer threshold

~200 kg/year.

Eco-modulation

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.

Deposit return system

DRS Active
HUF 50 (~€0.13)
PET bottles and aluminum cans.
MOHU (MOL Hulladékgazdálkodás)
2024

Watch points

Centralized state system. DRS launched 2024. PPWR direct application Aug 2026.
