WHAT DO I
HAVE TO DO TO KEEP UP WITH THE OBLIGATIONS ON SERVICE PACKAGING?

YOUR OBLIGATIONS AS A MERCHANT 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 meet all your responsibilities by delegating them to the manufacturer and/or distributor of your service packaging.

CONTACT YOUR MANUFACTURER AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR OF SERVICE PACKAGING AND ASK

REMEMBER:
YOU CAN DELEGATE THE PROCESS
TO YOUR MANUFACTURER AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR
OF SERVICE PACKAGING AND
HAVE IT HANDLE EVERYTHING.

If you choose this option to reach a collaboration agreement with your manufacturer and/or distributor of service packaging in which it provides you this additional service, you will be satisfying your obligations.

For example, if you have a butcher shop or fruit shop, it would be your supplier of bags, wrappers or boxes that would handle the obligations.

Call the manufacturer and/or distributor you regularly work with and ask it to fulfill these obligations on your behalf.
