Hit Play and pay attention to what Marcos has to say from a management agency like yours.

FIRST
WHAT IS
SERVICE
PACKAGING?

It is those containers designed and intended to be filled at the point of sale. It is also disposable items designed and intended to be filled at the point of sale to hold the product, and/or allow or enable its direct consumption or use.

They are service containers, bags to transport merchandise or containers for bulk food, such as trays, plates and glasses, among others.

WHAT TYPES
OF STORES
DOES IT AFFECT AND HOW?

It affects any business that sells products with service packaging, regardless of whether it is small or large, or if it sells food, clothing, electronics...

WHAT CAN YOU DO
TO KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS
UP TO DATE WITH THE NEW DECREE?

REMIND YOUR CUSTOMERS THAT THEIR OBLIGATIONS
AS BUSINESSES ARE TO:

01

COMPLY WITH THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY.

Merchants must take informative and financial responsibility for meeting the objectives set by RD 1055/2022.

The main compliance options are described below:

1. Reach a collaboration agreement with their manufacturer and/or distributor of service packaging.

2. Participate directly through a Producer Responsibility Organization such as the one managed by Ecoembes

This obligation depends on the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITERD) and provides a control mechanism for placing packaging on the market

You can do so here:

REGISTRATION IN THE REGISTER OF PRODUCT PRODUCERS

Once listed in the Register of Product Producers, the category of packaging placed on the market must be reported annually.

You can do so here:

ANNUAL REPORT FILED ELECTRONICALLY WITH INFORMATION ON THE PACKAGING PLACED ON THE MARKET.

02 REMEMBER THAT YOUR
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO DELEGATE THEIR
RESPONSIBILITIES TO THEIR MANUFACTURER OR
DISTRIBUTOR OF SERVICE PACKAGING TO HAVE IT DO ALL THE PAPERWORK.

Your customers have the option to enter into a collaboration agreement with their service packaging manufacturer and/or distributor to have the latter provide this additional service, helping them to fulfil their responsibility to manage the packaging waste.

For example, if your customer has a butcher shop, fruit shop, etc., it would be its manufacturer or distributor of bags, tubs, trays, or any other service packaging they use, that would handle the register of producers and the annual packaging declaration.

You can tell your customers to call the manufacturer or distributor they usually work with and delegate to it all the processes related to the new Royal Decree on Packaging. This way, it will be this manufacturer and/or distributor who does all the processes required.

HOW CAN THEY DO IT?

01

Call your service packaging manufacturers and/or distributors and ask them to comply on your behalf.

Make sure the service packaging manufacturers and/or distributors comply with your obligations under Royal Decree 1055/2022, in the following terms:

That they are registered in the Register of Producers. Listed HERE*

That the invoices you receive from your supplier show their Registration Number in the Register of Producers and details the contribution made to the PRO for said service packaging that they supply to you.

Keep any documentation that can demonstrate your compliance with your legal obligations.

02 HOW CAN YOUR CUSTOMER BE SURE THAT THE
MANUFACTURER AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR OF THE SERVICE PACKAGING COMPLIES WITH IT?

1.

It should ask the manufacturer and/or distributor for detailed information on how it handles the packaging waste.

2.

It should ask it to provide it with documentation proving its compliance with the obligations.

3.

Ask it to include on its invoice a reference that it is complying with the obligations of the Royal Decree on behalf of the merchant.

DISTRIBUTORS ALREADY HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH ECOEMBES?
