Exporter -40 (15%); importer -35 (15%). Export evidence: Poland exports HS3915 plastic scrap to Türkiye (16.94m kg), Lithuania (8.88m kg), Belgium (5.85m kg) and Indonesia (5.77m kg) in 2024. Significant outward transfer pressure.

Plastics HS3915 is not all waste and transferred recyclable material is not presumed illegal dumping.

Poland imported 2024 plastic scrap, including 50.02m kg from Germany, 17.81m from Czech Republic, 12.44m from Slovakia; country World total weight missing despite money value.
Large housing stock and construction coexist with purchase/rent dependence, affordability pressure and overcrowding for some households.
Poland has strong food-production capacity and bounded public/free routes, while ordinary household nourishment remains purchased.
Broad water/sewer infrastructure reach is substantial; recurring charges remain.
Electricity reach is broad and price interventions reduce spikes, but household energy remains billed and money-gated.
Public health capacity is meaningful and widely reachable, while waiting and procedure-specific friction remain.
Core public schooling provides strong low/zero-money reach and high national coverage.
Transport capacity is substantial, but ordinary mobility remains fare/fuel/vehicle dependent and uneven outside cities.
Family supports coexist with economic/housing pressure. TFR about 1.10 in 2024 is exceptionally low and far below replacement. Observed TFR 1.100 (2024) is below replacement and below the TBF target of 5.0.
Land capacity exists, but ordinary access is strongly purchase/lease and regulation dependent.
Parks, heritage and cultural capacity support public life, while many organized leisure routes remain paid.
Environmental restoration and protected-area systems coexist with pollution and biodiversity pressures.
Justice/state capacity is substantial, but legal/process costs and institutional friction remain.
Repair/reuse investment is growing, including public grants, but broad zero-money repair access is not established.
Digital filing reduces migration bureaucracy and temporary protection provides a major welcome route, but ordinary residence remains fee/status gated.
