Guides
Written for companies selling into Spain from abroad. Each guide answers one question, cites where the answer comes from, and says plainly where Spanish practice is unsettled.
Who needs a Spanish EPR representative?
The test is establishment, not nationality or size. What RD 1055/2022 and PPWR Article 45(3) actually require, and the cases where you do not need anyone.
Read the guide →MarketplacesAmazon and Spanish packaging EPR
What the ENV number is, why Amazon.es asks for it, and why Pay on Behalf does not make you compliant on its own.
Read the guide →TerminologyRPP, ENV, SCRAP and NIF explained
Four Spanish acronyms that get confused for one another, what each actually is, and which one a marketplace is asking for.
Read the guide →MoneyWhat Spanish packaging EPR costs
The three separate costs, what every provider we could verify charges, and the one packaging decision that moves the bill more than any of them.
Read the guide →MoneyThe plastic tax is not an eco-contribution
Spain has two separate charges on plastic packaging and nearly every guide conflates them. What the €0.45/kg tax is, who pays it, and how it differs from the scheme tariff.
Read the guide →ScopeWho is the producer in Spain?
The obligations follow whoever first places packaged goods on the Spanish market. Eight situations, and who carries the duty in each.
Read the guide →ChannelsSpanish EPR for Shopify and DTC brands
No marketplace is checking your registration, which is exactly why direct sellers are the ones who discover this late.
Read the guide →ComparisonSpain, Germany and France compared
Three neighbouring countries, three different systems. What transfers between them, what does not, and why one representative cannot cover all three.
Read the guide →Each guide is written from the statute (Real Decreto 1055/2022, Ley 7/2022, Regulation (EU) 2025/40) or from the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister, the competent authority for the German packaging register — never from another provider’s marketing page. Every page carries the date it was checked. The sourced numbers live in the open datasets.
Selling into Spain without a Spanish company?
Since 12 August 2026, PPWR Article 45(3) requires an authorised representative established in Spain. We are that representative, for €199 a year.
