Packaging companies

YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE

For 20 years we have been working to ensure that packaging companies comply with the provisions set forth in the Spanish Packaging and Packaging Waste Act 11/1997. We do so with enthusiasm and under criteria of effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability.

If you market, distribute or import products in single-use glass packaging and you are responsible for their first placing on the market, you must join a Collective System of Extended Producer Responsibility (SCRAP).

Over 8,000 companies finance the recycling of their glass packagings via the Green Dot system

When you become part of the SCRAP, you have to include the Green Dot symbol on the labels. This guarantees citizens and public administrations that the packaging complies with regulations and the packaging company finances the waste management system.

Once a year, before 28th February, you must inform us of the number and weight of glass packagings you place on the market. The tool employed for this is the Packaging Declaration Sheet. Based on this sheet, we calculate the contribution you have to make to the system and the amount of waste that needs to be managed.

Below, you will find practical information and documentation of interest on becoming a member:

Waste prevention and
ecodesign

The best waste is no waste. With this in mind, at Ecovidrio we implement Business Prevention Plans (PEPs), programmes for packaging companies to define objectives and actions aimed at reducing the environmental impact of packaging.

We encourage any company to minimise their impact and grow in sustainability. In addition, all companies that generate over the following quantities of waste must implement prevention measures:

250t

if exclusively

glass

50t

if exclusively

steel

30t

if exclusively

aluminium

21t

if exclusively

plastic

16t

if exclusively

wood

14t

if exclusively

cardboard or composite materials

350t

if several materials are involved and each of them do not exceed individually the above quantities
