Can I just register with the cheapest PRO in Slovakia?
Usually you can choose, but not on the per-kilogram rate alone. Schemes differ in packaging scopes, minimum and membership fees, eco-modulation tiers and contract terms, and some only accept certain packaging streams. Use the comparison to shortlist, then confirm scope and total cost against the scheme's own tariff – every rate here links to it.
Where do these comparison figures come from?
Every rate is a published tariff line from the scheme itself, held in Gramta's sourced fee dataset with its effective period and checked date (dataset updated 24 Aug 2026). Nothing is averaged or estimated: identical material families in identical published scopes are placed side by side, and anything not like-for-like is excluded and explained above.
