The most pervasive environmental practice in our nation is the habit of sorting our waste for recycling, which has continued to expand in recent years.

The information is divided into two categories: collection data, which represents the tonnes of packaging that people place in the blue and yellow bins; and recycling data, which represents the tonnes that reach the recycling facilities.

Ecoembes' legal responsibility is limited to the domestic packaging waste that the companies belonging to the system declare having put on the market each year. Therefore, all their figures take this waste as a reference.

From beginning to end, the recycling cycle is a closely controlled operation.

Due to information provided on the ground by the town halls and waste managers authorised by the Autonomous Communities, this monitoring enables us to have a thorough understanding of the situation of all packaging from the time it is recovered from the bins to the time it is converted back into raw material.

All the traceability checks that support this regular activity are completed by auditing firms outside Ecoembes, which ensures that the waste is converted into a new resource.

Here, we describe the controls that are implemented throughout the recycling cycle and who is responsible for them.
