What's driving the attention

Interest has increased around Poland's new deposit-refund system for beverage containers and changes to bottle deposit amounts.

The term "system kaucyjny" relates to Poland's recently launched deposit-refund scheme aimed at encouraging recycling of drink bottles and cans. The growth in searches reflects public attention to potential changes such as a rise in bottle deposit fees to 75 groszy.
