The environmental permit for waste management is now available in digital format and can be accessed through the EVO portal or application. The new functionality allows entrepreneurs and companies to go through the entire process online, reports IPN.

Previously, the service was only partially digitized through the “Waste Management” information system. Now, the procedure is fully digital and aligns with the legal requirements for issuing permissive documents through the authorized information system. Access is made through electronic signature.

Applicants can submit the application, pay the fee, and receive the document in electronic format after the review period. The authorization falls under the incidence of the tacit approval procedure, which means that if the authority does not respond within the legal deadline of 15 days, the request is automatically considered approved.

The waste management authorization is issued by the Environmental Agency and provides the right to carry out activities in the field of waste collection and marketing, as well as the implementation of the extended producer responsibility. The purpose of the service is to ensure proper waste management and prevent negative impact on the environment and public health.

According to the Electronic Governance Agency, over 130 online services are available through the permissive acts management platform, and the system processes annually over 100 thousand requests for various authorizations, certificates, and permits necessary for the business environment.
