How should industrial packaging waste be managed?

Our partner in the environmental area, María José Rovira, sign this article about how industrial packaging waste should be managed in the new issue of the Revista AJA of LegalToday, after the separate collection of industrial packaging became mandatory under the new regulations that came into force in December 2022.

Our expert lawyer comments: "The Extended Producer Responsibility System becomes mandatory for all types of packaging -domestic, commercial and industrial-, making the manufacturers or producers themselves responsible for the operational and economic responsibility of managing the waste generated by their products before placing them on the market".

He also explains the differences between the two systems of responsibility in relation to the management of industrial packaging, the SIRAP (Individual System of Extended Producer Responsibility) or SCRAP (Collective System), "There is no system of choice, a priori, that is better or worse; the choice will depend exclusively on the Company, being a decision of its governing body".

In this guide on packaging and industrial packaging waste, the team of expert environmental lawyers analyze the main issues of the regulations governing waste management and the guidelines that producers must follow to comply with the new obligations.
