The environmental market in Poland

The environmental market in Poland is considered a catalyst in the growth of the business market. The environmental standards imposed by the EU in Poland has established greater opportunities for businesses in the country. EU regulations control the environmental market for Poland. Since Poland joined the EU, for fifteen years, EU financing has facilitated the establishment of more than 1,000 water treatment plans in the country, reducing emissions of carbon dioxide by 30%, development of thousands of miles of piping systems. Also, EU funding has helped create various hazardous waste management plants and develop long-term programs for protecting endangered animals and plants. Environmental Protection Act offers a legal structure for environmental and business activities in Poland. The Ministry of Environment is the largest national office that prepares and implements environmental strategies and legislations (Cent, Grodzińska-Jurczak, and Pietrzyk-Kaszyńska, 2014, pp. 93-102). Poland’s environmental governance exhibits a high level of regional, national, and municipal coordination of environmental rules and regulations.
