The purpose of this article is to show the influence of the new sharing economy trend on the implementation of environmental objectives of the European Union. The previous relationship between new business models for closing of the supply chain loop and the introduction in Poland in 2002 of obligations related to the product fee implemented within the framework of the extended producer responsibility (EPR) are relatively insignificant. This concept is carried out by defining minimum levels of recovery and recycling in the relevant groups of packaging which the entrepreneur (producer, importer, entity placing packaged products on the market) is obliged to provide. This is to ensure that the commune has funds for the collection and processing of waste or, in relation to the entrepreneurs who avoid the trouble of organising a system of recovery and recycling, to force them to incur the product fee for the marshal’s office.
