  • Requirements

    material to be declared does not exceed 12 tons. Company does not take part in Ecoembes PEP.

  • 6 categories

    0-1 tons
    1-3 tons
    3-6 tons

    8-10 tons
    10-12 tons

  • Send

    in online or by postal mail.

More information on the simplified declaration

Commercial packaging can also be included in the total packaging tonnage calculation if the company wishes to declare it voluntarily, though in no case can the total exceed 12 tons. If it does, an ordinary declaration has to be filed with the relevant details.

Regularization: the simplified declaration is exempt from regularization except for those companies that during the calendar year associated with the declaration exceed 12 tons of packaging marketed.

Invoicing: the annual amount will be billed only once, in March of each year, payable by 30 June, except for new members, which will be billed once the membership is formalized, with payment due within one month of the invoice date.

New member companies: companies in the process of becoming members that have not filed their declarations must send in a packaging declaration for each of the last four years and for the current year, unless they can prove they did not have any commercial activity.
