Declaration of service bags and packaging

As per R.D. 1055/2022 of 27 December 2022, point-of-sale filling containers purchased in stores for the transportation of goods by consumers are considered service packaging, and  the shop owner who supplies them is responsible for them.

However, manufacturers and suppliers of such packaging, intra-Community purchasers, or importers of such packaging can agree to act as intermediaries between the retailer and Ecoembes.

This means that you can ask any manufacturer or supplier of service packaging that has voluntarily joined Ecoembes by signing this Agreement to manage the declaration and contribution for the Green Point of any service packaging that your business places on the market. In this case, it is up to the manufacturer or supplier to pass on the cost of the Green Point if they deem it necessary. This amount must be explicitly stated on each invoice issued, ensuring compliance with legal obligations as well as evidence of said compliance.

This agreement only applies to service packaging delivered to shops.

Access the compliance document here: Voluntary agreement between Ecoembes, manufacturers of single-use carrier bags and Retailers/Distributors (text in Spanish).

There are different procedures available depending on the characteristics of your business. Find out about them.

If you are a shop

You have different procedures depending on the characteristics of your business.

Individual adhesion 

 

They must fill and send the Adhesion Request. Upon receiving it, from Ecoembes we will send the adhesion contracts for signature.

  • Including bags as any other packaging in the Annual Packaging Declaration to be submitted before the 28 February.
  • Requesting your bags manufacturers/suppliers that have entered into the Voluntary Agreement with Ecoembes that prepare the declaration for the bags under their name that they include on the invoice the cost corresponding to the green dot.
  • On an annual basis, from Ecoembes we will send an Information Declaration to the shops that have opted to declare the bags they supply to their clients through their manufacturer/suppliers, detailing the amounts declared by them in the year immediately before for confirmation.
  • In the Annual Packaging Declaration that all companies adhered must submit before 28 February, the bags whose green dot cost the manufacturer/suppliers did not include in the invoice, as well as the other packaging for which they are responsible, will be included.

Joint adhesion 

Adhesion

Instead of the individual adhesion, they may opt for a collective adhesion through any association or organisation that has already entered into a “Collective Adhesion Agreement” with us. In such case, the shop would not have to sign an agreement with us nor pay an Adhesion Rate.

Declaration

The shops that opt for this collective adhesion would contribute through these organisations for the packaging placed in the market and, since they are not individually adhered to Ecoembes, they would not have a direct relationship with the SIF and would not submit an Annual Packaging Declaration.

 

If you are a bags manufacturer or supplier

You may also follow two different procedures when preparing the bag declaration.

On a voluntary basis, they may enter into the “Voluntary agreement between Ecoembes, one-use-only bags manufacturers and the Shop/Distribution". After filling and receiving the Manufacturer’s Adhesion Request, we will send them the Customised Voluntary Agreements for signature.

To be submitted when the calendar quarter corresponding to the declaration has passed. In this declaration, which will be filled through the Internet, they will have to identify the clients for which they submit the declaration, as well as the amounts of each material sold during the quarter.

This quarterly declaration must be submitted even if during the quarter no client has requested this action, stating in this case a zero amount.

From Ecoembes we will provide the adhered bags manufacturer/supplier a user and a password to access said declaration from our website.
