Any questions?

According to Royal Decree 1055/2022 on packaging and packaging waste, the EPR affects you if you put packaging on the Spanish market, whether domestic, commercial or industrial.
Specifically, if your company:
- Markets packaged products under its own brand or distribution
- Packages or manufactures products that are likely to reach the end consume
- Imports or acquires packaged products in the European Union
- Is a merchant and supplies a product together with bags, wrappers, etc.
- Markets a packaged product online and/or with packaging for shipping
If you want to know other cases in which EPR can affect you, read this article (Spanish).
These are the differences between domestic, commercial and industrial packaging, with a few simple examples:
- Domestic packaging is intended for consumption by individuals and can be purchased by them. For example, a bottle of lemonade.
- Commercial packaging is intended for commercial activity. For example, the box in which the lemonade bottles are transported to a supermarket.
- Industrial packaging is intended for industrial activity. For example, the boxes of lemons that will be used to create the lemonade.

In the case of domestic packaging, we have been working closely with the government agencies tasked with waste management operations for more than 25 years. We currently have an agreement with more than 8,000 municipalities in Spain.
In the case of commercial packaging, our involvement relies on agreements with the private managers in charge of this activity, as well as on agreements with government agencies for the packaging that makes it into the bins on the street.
And in the case of industrial packaging, we want to make it easy for you so you only have to interact with one party. Which is why we will reach agreements with PROs of industrial packaging so that we can provide this service.
In the case of commercial and industrial packaging, you have all of 2024, since your company becomes responsible for this packaging starting on January 1, 2025.
In the case of domestic packaging, the obligation has been in effect for over 25 years, so you have to join as soon as possible if you have not already done so.
Yes! Each type of packaging has its own process.
That is, if your company already lets Ecoembes handle the EPR for your domestic packaging, and you want us to handle the commercial packaging as well. You have to fill out the following form, and we will then send you the contract.
As for your industrial packaging, we will soon offer this service through agreements with other PROs.
