How much residential packaging is placed in the market in Spain?
In 2024, companies affiliated with Ecoembes—that is, those that comply with their legal obligation to pay the Punto Verde to cover the cost of collecting and recycling their packaging—placed more than 2.04 million tonnes of plastic, carton, metal and paper/cardboard packaging on the market. This amount represents approximately 10% of the total waste generated by a city.
