Typical logistic process concerns actions which relate to product delivery to the customer. New approach to environmental protection, especially sustainable development concept forced another step, e.g. after their used, goods move from the customer to the distributor or to the manufacturer who has to organize shipping not only of the defective product, testing the product, dismantling, repairing, but also, what is important in this case, recycling or disposal of used product. It is very important especially in the case of packaging. Packaging should follow the 3R's hierarchy: reduce, reuse, recycle. Reusable packaging systems require a closed-loop logistics system. The first step of this logistic system is well organized segregation of packaging. To achieve good segragation people should be aware of problem with packaging waste. In Poland, like in other coutries of european Union, waste segragation, not only packaging waste, is demanded. In the paper process of packaging waste segragation in Poland, connection with eco-logistics and reverse logistics, its organization in Poland were presented.
