BDOMAT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN THE FOOD SERVICE SECTOR

bdomat BDO specialists for the food service

bdomat was created for businesses operating in the food service industry and is a response to the requirements imposed by Polish legislation. Since 2023, Polish law has required entrepreneurs in the food service sector to keep records of the number of single-use packaging purchased and distributed in a given year, specifically packaging used for takeaway food.

For the food service sector, this means not only paying a fee for single-use packaging but also regular BDO reporting and obtaining BDO codes for food service. This introduces additional formalities for entrepreneurs in the industry.

Experienced in BDO

Since BDO became a requirement for entrepreneurs in Poland, 4,357 companies from various industries have submitted their BDO reports with our help. Now, we are sharing our knowledge and experience in maintaining records and preparing BDO reports with food service companies. These businesses are often unaware of the obligations imposed on them by BDO and the legislator. Non-compliance with these obligations can result in penalties. That's why bdomat serves as a guide and assistant for anyone who wants to successfully and easily complete their BDO tasks, including mandatory reports.

The latest updates on BDO for the food service sector.

How to settle single-use packaging according to the SUP Directive?

Waste management regulations that food service businesses must comply with came into effect as early as 2023. These regulations are the result of a 2019 European Union directive aimed at reducing the environmental impact of single-use plastic products. Some provisions took effect in 2023, while others, particularly those related to fees, came into force in 2024.

BDO obligations for entrepreneurs in the food service sector.

The year 2024 has brought many changes for entrepreneurs operating in the food service sector. Price increases, supply chain issues, and new regulations that introduced additional responsibilities are just a few examples. However, the most significant change concerned waste and packaging management in the food service sector. BDO regulations, which had been in place for years in other industries, became mandatory for entrepreneurs operating restaurants, food outlets, cafes, confectioneries, and other establishments where goods are packaged for takeout.

The biggest challenges in implementing BDO in the food service sector: How to overcome them?

Since 2024, food service businesses are required to report information about packaging placed into circulation in the Database of Products and Packaging and Waste Management (BDO). It is a fact that the amount of waste generated by the food service industry is ENORMOUS.
