Packaging Declaration. What is it and how it is done?
Packaging Declaration. What is it and how it is done?
Why submit the declaration every year?
The Packaging Act (national and community regulations) provides that companies are responsible for the waste generated by the packaged goods they place in the market. Before the 28th of February of every year, they must report to the Collective Extended Producer Responsibility System (SCRAP, in Spanish) of which they form part, in this case Ecoembes, the packaging they place in the market the previous year. This is done through the so-called Packaging Declaration.
The Packaging Declaration includes the economic contribution calculation regarding the packaged goods traded by the company in the last calendar year. This contribution will depend both on the number of packaging placed in the market and their weight and the type of material.
To ensure that all companies that are part of Ecoembes comply with their legal obligations and verify the quality of the data reported, we establish several control mechanisms and offer a declaration support service.
We explain everything below.
