EU PPWR
Spain's collective schemes for household packaging and for glass, operating under the Royal Decree on packaging waste.
Ecoembes manages household light packaging and paper in Spain, and Ecovidrio manages glass. Producers register with the relevant scheme, report tonnage by material and pay the green dot contribution per tonne, modulated by recyclability.
Spain's 2022 packaging royal decree extended obligations to commercial and industrial packaging and introduced a national plastic packaging tax on non-reused plastic packaging, charged per kilogram of non-recycled plastic. The tax and the EPR contribution are separate obligations on overlapping data.
Reusable packaging targets and single-use restrictions in the same decree mean Spanish requirements go beyond the EU baseline in several places.
The share of a packaging component made from material recovered after consumer use, regulated by minimum targets under PPWR and taxed in the UK.
A collective scheme that producers join to discharge their EPR obligations, handling registration, reporting infrastructure, fee collection and recycling contracts.
Adjusting EPR fees up or down according to the environmental performance of the packaging, rewarding recyclable design and penalising problem formats.
Packgine resolves your packaging to component level and applies the rules of every market you sell into.
