Managing service packaging

Royal Decree 1055/2022 states that packaging for filling provided at the point of sale in stores for consumers to carry goods is considered service packaging, and that the entity responsible for it is the owner of the store that supplies it.

However, the option exists of reaching an agreement in which the manufacturers and distributors of said packaging (the suppliers of service packaging), intra-Community purchasers or importers of said packaging, act as intermediaries between the store and Ecoembes.

As a result, a store can request its service packaging supplier to comply with the store’s responsibility by delegating it to the supplier. In this case, the manufacturer or distributor of service packaging can sign a membership contract with Ecoembes and thus comply with the Extended Producer Responsibility of the store. It would also comply with its obligations with the Register of Product Producers of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge.

Find out about the details of the different compliance options by Royal Decree 1055/2022.

Voluntary agreement between the store and suppliers

A store will make the delegation request to its service packaging supplier, and it will not be necessary for the store to join Ecoembes.

Suppliers who accept the delegation of responsibility of the stores/shops, will be able to sign the adhesion and value proposition that Ecoembes offers.

A store that chooses to delegate its responsibilities to its service packaging provider will not have to submit a packaging declaration to Ecoembes.

It will be its supplier that does so through the Packaging Platform that Ecoembes will make available to it once it joins, and through which it will have detailed information on the service packaging placed on the national market.

In the case of stores that delegate their responsibilities to their service packaging supplier, it will be the latter that complies with all the obligations related to the Register of Product Producers, in the packaging section, of MITERD.

Therefore, the supplier must:

  • Register in the MITERD's Register of Product Producers, packaging section.
  • There, report annually on the packaging placed on the national market.

More information on the Register of Product Producers here.

Individual compliance by the store

Stores that choose to comply with their obligations directly with Ecoembes must complete and submit the Ecoembes Membership Application. Once received, Ecoembes will send them the membership contract for signature.

Once the store signs the membership contract with Ecoembes, it will receive a username and password so it can log into the Packaging Platform and prepare its annual packaging declaration there.

In addition to its EPR obligations through Ecoembes, the store must also individually comply with the obligations of the MITERD's Register of Product Producers:

  • Register in the MITERD's Register of Product Producers, packaging section.
  • There, report annually on the packaging placed on the national market.
