Frequently asked questions

Ecoembes does not make money and does not generate profits because, like SCRAP, it is required by law to be a non-profit organisation. This means, among other things, that 100% of its income must be used to cover the costs incurred by local councils throughout Spain for the selective collection of packaging. Therefore, any financial surplus that may arise in a given financial year can never be distributed among its members or shareholders, but must be used to ensure the maintenance of the system by covering the expenses of the following financial year.
