    Drinking Water Pricing and Consumption. The Environmetrical Evaluation of the Situation in Poland
    (Environmental Informatics and Systems Research, 2007) Bartoszczuk, Pawel
    The focus of the paper is on estimation and implementation of economic model applied to municipal water economy. In the paper it was demonstrated how decrease in households’ water consumption after transition to market economy leads to a significant increase of municipal water prices. Water price increase will be convergent process, what was shown in the model. Some consequences of declining water consumption, like decrease of the sewage dropped to the treatment plant, were presented.

    Eco innovations in European countries
    (EnviroInfo & ICT4S, Conference Proceedings, 2015) Bartoszczuk, Pawel
    The goal of this paper is to present eco-innovation implementation in some European countries. Expected environmental law is very important for enforcing firm to minimise emission to air and water, diminish amount of hazardous substances and increase recycling. Cost reduction is another incentive for lower energy and material consumption, pointing to the significance of energy and materials prices, together with tax as ecoinnovation drivers. Customer wants are important basis for ecoinnovations, particularly with regard to green products and process innovations that improve material efficiency, reduce consumption of energy and waste creation. In the paper we to present ecoinnovation examples from Poland and Denmark.

    Eco-innovation performance in European Union
    (EnviroInfo 2023, 2023) Bartoszczuk, Pawel
    To date no uniform proposal for measuring and analysing eco-innovation in the literature has been emerged. The main challenges in this regard are the need to establish indicators at micro level, taking into account the life cycle and the separation of eco- efficiency from the economic category of eco-innovation, the definition of levels of eco- innovation analysis and the careful development of data aggregation methods, in addition to understanding the effect of eco-innovation and the relationship of eco-innovation indicators to key indicators for measuring sustainable and sustainable socio-economic development. The effects of eco-innovation can be measured on a micro scale (for product or service, process, enterprise), meso (sector,) and macro. The effects of eco-innovation cannot be always positive. Despite the high investment of companies, eco-innovation activities are producing results in the longer term on a micro scale by reducing the negative impact of its activities on the environment, while at the same time leading to the impact of eco-innovation on the company's performance in the form of lower environmental pollution charges and lower energy costs. The main goal of the article is to prove the thesis that eco-innovation allows countries’ economies to increase their performance in the longer time period. Another aim was to analyse eco-innovation scoreboard data and to unveil the low index value reasons for Central Europe countries. To gain so declared goals, a research question was formulated as follow: do countries with less developed economies have lower eco-innovation performance? The performance measurement was based on secondary data analysis obtained from Eco-innovation observatory. These basic indicators and trends described European countries’ eco-innovations performance. The analysis is based on comparative research and available data. Poland is in the low eco-innovation performance group of countries, as are most Eastern European countries and some Western countries (such as Malta). Even against the background of these countries, there is a great distance of Poland to the new member states e.g. the Czech Republic and Estonia. The results of these indices indicate insufficient implementation of eco-innovation in enterprises in Poland. Currently available data presented by the European Eco-innovation Observatory confirms a significantly insufficient degree of eco-innovation of the Polish economy. On the one hand, there is no pressure on research in new eco-innovative solutions. On the other, academic and R&D centers are unable to satisfy the demands of the industry. It is of key importance that eco-innovations are perceived as the driving factor of the third transformation in Poland and other EU new members (following system transformation and the EU accession).

    Environment in Poland and capital outlays on pollution control
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 1: Core Application Areas, 2012) Bartoszczuk, Pawel
    After the Second World War, Poland became a communist’s country, and heavy industry was developed. Along with industrialization, the environment was deteriorated. Ecological and human costs of living in the degraded environment were not considered. On-going changes in Poland and large financial outlays on environmental protection have caused environmental improvement, but also some new unpredicted problems. In spite of better water management, still the most important problem involves eutrophication. An analysis of the size and structure of outlays on sewage management and water protection is carried out in the paper.

    Environmental and energy informatics: Polish approaches in eco-innovation
    (INFORMATIK 2015, 2015) Bartoszczuk, Pawel
    The goal of this paper is to present eco-innovation implementation in Poland and in some European countries. I assess factor influencing on ecoinnovation in small medium enterprises. Both current and expected energy and material prices are particularly important for pushing firms to reduce pollution, decrease hazardous substances and increase recyclability of products. Cost savings are an important main incentive for reducing energy and material use, and for ecoinnovation. Customer requirements are very important source for eco-innovations, particularly with regard to products with improved environmental performance and process innovations that increase material efficiency, reduce energy consumption and waste.

    Modelling Municipal Water Pricing
    (Managing Environmental Knowledge, 2006) Bartoszczuk, Pawel
    Suitable price for water is very important both for the waterworks and consumers. Water price should be based on the cost of supply and town location. By means of the value of water on the costs of its provision we obtain a more rational consumption of water. The process of water production requires large capital investments and has serious health implications for the community. In Poland during previous economic system water was very cheap and was overused. The decrease of water consumption after transition to market economy lead to significant water price increase. We present a model, which shows that water price increase will be convergent process.

    Risk assessment methods of water supply system in terms of reliability and operation cost
    (Proceedings of the 27th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2013) Bartoszczuk, Pawel; Szymik-Gralewska, Jolanta; Zimoch, Izabela
    Following the end of the Second World War, domestic consumers in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe region, including Poland, normally paid a small percentage of the cost of drinking water while the rest was paid by the state in the form of subsidies. After 1990 water charges suddenly increased and reached a significant proportion of the household s average income. This led to a considerable decrease of water consumption and not fully utilised capacity of existing plants. One of the decisive factors of the decrease of water consumption was installation of meters. Whether the observed falling trend of water consumption can be stopped and when it might happen has been unknown until now. In fact, knowledge on the impact of price changes on water demand is insufficient. Moreover, there is no satisfactory model to explain the existing phenomenon. After joining European Union significant outlays on water supply systems were taken to improve water quality. European Water Framework Directive claims that Member States shall take account of the principle of recovery of the costs of water services, including environmental and resource costs, having regard to the economic analysis ( ) and in accordance in particular with the polluter pays principle (Water Framework Directive, European Union).
