Consulting Services on the Registration of Product and Packaging Waste Producers
 

1. Application of the Tax on Non-Reusable Plastics

The tax on non-reusable plastic packaging affects companies that use non-reusable plastic packaging in Spain 🇪🇸. This tax applies to both empty packaging and packaging that contains, protects or distributes products. From 2024 onwards, kilograms of non-reusable plastic must be certified by a certifying body. This tax is part of a broader regulatory framework on packaging waste, and companies must adapt to these new responsibilities ♻️.


2. Management of the Register of Product and Packaging Waste Producers

With the entry into force of Law 7/2022 and Royal Decree 1055/2022, all companies considered to be product producers must register in the Register of Product Producers of Packaging and Packaging Waste of the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITERD) 🌍. This register is mandatory and aims to ensure that companies comply with regulations on recycling and the proper management of packaging waste.


Who must register as a Packaging Producer?

• Product producers include packagers and economic operators who import or purchase packaged products in other EU countries.
• For products packaged under distribution brands, the brand owner will be considered the product producer.
• In the case of products packaged on behalf of a third party, the latter will be responsible for registering and managing packaging waste ♻️.

Registration of Product Manufacturers and Packaging Waste

At SUN REPACK, we manage the registration of product manufacturers on behalf of companies. We take care of all the administrative procedures, ensuring that the data is submitted accurately and within the deadlines established by the regulations. In addition, we manage the reporting of packaging waste data to the Ministry, ensuring that companies comply with their obligations.

To facilitate this process, SUN REPACK organises webinars 🎥 and provides a step-by-step guide so that companies can communicate with the Ministry correctly and easily.


Eco-design and Sustainability in Packaging

With new European regulations, such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, companies must now pay special attention to the eco-friendly design of their products. This regulation, which modifies and establishes new requirements, seeks to promote eco-design to reduce environmental impact and facilitate packaging waste management.

At SUN REPACK, we work with technology centres specialising in eco-design to help companies redesign their packaging and make it more sustainable 🌍, complying with packaging waste regulations and promoting circularity in materials.
