I am a distributor
+ Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): Means packaging distributors are responsible for how the products are managed once they become waste. This means they must fund and manage selective collection, recycling and processing systems for this waste.
+ Registration and regulatory compliance: Distributors are obliged to register with the Registry of Product Producers – Packaging (REPPRE) and comply with the provisions of current regulations on managing packaging waste.
+ Labelling and consumer information: Distributors must ensure that the packaging they put onto the market complies with the labelling requirements laid out in Spanish law, including information on the material the packaging is made of, recycling instructions and other significant data.
+ Promoting the circular economy: Distributors are responsible for promoting commercial practices and packaging that encourage the circular economy and help reduce the environmental impact of packaging.
In addition to the serious environmental damage that can result from improper management of packaging, if distributors fail to comply with the provisions of Law 1055/2022 on Packaging and waste they can be subject to penalties in the form of fines or other sanctions, such as temporary occupational disqualification or closure of their facilities.
These sanctions are accompanied by final penalties ranging from €2,001 to €100,000.
