If the company is approved, it becomes part of the “Approved Recovery/Recycling Agents List” on Ecoembes’ website. The certification issued to each recycler will be valid for a maximum of eight (8) years, although it will be tied to the validity of the corresponding administrative authorization to collect and treat waste provided for in Article 33 of Law 7/2022 of April 8, on waste and contaminated soils for a circular economy, or any law that may replace it. For example, if a recycler requests certification from ECOEMBES in the fourth year of validity of its administrative authorization, its certification will be valid for four years.
