COMMUNICATION

We kindly remind you that before each transfer of recovered refrigerants or other waste to the PROZON Foundation, it is necessary to issue a Waste Transfer Note (KPO) in advance in the BDO system. The KPO document should be created electronically before the start of waste transportation.

Otherwise, the PROZON Foundation, as the recipient of the waste, does not have the capacity to accept it.

If you have not yet registered with BDO, but are covered by this obligation because you generate waste from your operations, we recommend that you immediately apply for registration with BDO through the website or contact PROZON Foundation for Climate Protection, at the following email address: ochrona.srodowiska@prozon.org.pl, where you will receive assistance in registration.
