Based on a decree amendment issued by the State Secretary of Energy, the fees payable under the Extended Producers’ Responsibility (EPR) system will increase as of 1 October 2025. The new rates will first apply to EPR-liable products placed on the market in Q4 2025.
The adjustment does not cover all product categories, but in several cases the increase is substantial. The changes are summarized in the table below:
| Product Stream | Previous Fee (HUF/kg) | New Fee (HUF/kg) | Increase (HUF/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wood packaging | 19 | 22 | 3 |
| Textile packaging | 67 | 148 | 81 |
| Glass packaging | 77 | 107 | 30 |
| Composite packaging | 168 | 191 | 23 |
| Advertising paper | 94 | 204 | 110 |
| Wooden furniture | 17 | 51 | 34 |
| Lamps | 306 | 419 | 113 |
| Vehicle battery | 238 | 390 | 152 |
| Vehicles | 21 | 36 | 15 |
| Cooking oil and fat | 36 | 62 | 26 |
| Textile products | 145 | 164 | 19 |
In addition to the above, lump-sum EPR fees for vehicles and certain service charges related to the Deposit Return System (DRS) will also increase for specific products.
