Abstract In the face of increasingly widespread environmental pollution and resource consumption, the need to actively implement concepts such as waste hierarchy, circular economy or closed loop is increasingly being discussed. In practice, these approaches include the implementation of a range of waste management solutions. At present, 11 European countries operate a deposit-refund system (DRS) as part of these measures. Poland is one of the countries that plans to introduce such a system, which will most likely come into force in 2025. This paper attempts to present Poland's plans for this system and the problems it will face in this regard. To this end, using Krippendorff's content analysis, a collected corpus of discourse texts taking place in Poland on the subject of the DRS was analyzed. From these, 11 problems were extracted and then classified and evaluated. The findings included that most of these problems are going to be organizational in nature, and that it is already reasonable to predict, on the basis of existing indications, that it will be possible to solve them through proper planning of the system and its management. Thus, this allows for a certain optimism concerning the introduction of DRS in Poland.
