A strategy to lessen the impact of packaging on the environment
In accordance with Royal Decree 782/1998, which amends Law 11/1997 on Packaging, importers of packaged goods or packing enterprises are required to implement a Business Plan for Prevention (BPP) if their packaging weight exceeds a set threshold.
We are in the updating phase of the RD 1055/2022 regulation. At the end of the year we will launch the new Prevention and Ecodesign Business Plan 2024-2028.
This strategy aims to reduce its environmental effects and increase its sustainability. Should your business establish a Prevention Plan? Learn more here.

How to abide by this statutory requirement
You can meet this legal requirement by creating an individual plan or joining a sectoral plan. At Ecoembes, we provide you with the option to join more than 2,000 businesses—which account for more than 90% of the material adhered to Ecoembes—in our Business Plan for Prevention (BPP) at no additional cost.
The liabilities that the firm would incur in comparison to those of Ecoembes' sectoral BPP if it chose to comply with the law by creating an individual BPP are shown in the following table.
