Spanish EPR, explained.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) makes the company that first places a product on the Spanish market responsible for financing its end-of-life collection and recycling. If you sell physical products to customers in Spain — even from abroad, even via marketplaces — you are considered a producer for the packaging around your products. Electronics and batteries have their own additional EPR regimes.

No. For packaging there is no threshold: registration in the Registro de Productores de Producto is mandatory from 0 kg. Whether you ship one parcel a month or thousands, the obligation is the same — what changes with volume is the recycling fee you pay to the scheme.

Spanish law classifies non-compliance as a serious or very serious infringement. Serious infringements carry fines from €2,001 to €100,000; very serious ones can reach €3.5M. Marketplaces are also increasingly required to verify EPR registration numbers, which can lead to delisting.

Start with a scope review. Past periods, applicable streams and any corrective declarations depend on the facts of the file. We can prepare a written assessment and coordinate the agreed private service, but the relevant authorities, schemes and marketplaces make their own decisions.

A SCRAP (Sistema Colectivo de Responsabilidad Ampliada del Productor) is a collective scheme that organizes and finances collection and recycling on behalf of its members. Ecoembes is the main scheme for household packaging. You pay them recycling fees based on the materials and weights you place on the market — these fees pass through directly; our fee covers the registration, representation, and reporting work around them.

Spanish EPR rules require non-resident producers to appoint a representative established in Spain. eprspain.com prepares and coordinates the private service; the Spain-established representative identified in the engagement documents performs the mandate. The registry and each responsibility scheme make their own decisions on the file.

Every year (typically by March), producers must declare the quantities of packaging — by material — placed on the Spanish market during the previous year. Within an agreed annual service, we collect your tonnage data, prepare the declaration and coordinate its submission.

The foreign legal entity generally needs its own Spanish tax identification number (NIF) before producer registration. If the company does not have one yet, our private application-preparation service costs €299 when included in an EPR dossier or €449 standalone. Personal NIF and NIE applications are not offered. The Agencia Tributaria independently decides whether and when to issue an identifier.

Timing depends on document completeness and third-party processing. The NIF, representative appointment, producer registry and scheme steps can depend on one another, and the relevant authority and scheme independently decide whether and when to accept each step. We provide a written scope and keep you informed, but we do not guarantee issuance or timing.

Amazon Starter costs €399 in the first year with onboarding included, then €299/year, for one company selling packaging-only on Amazon.es up to 500 kg/year with no historical regularisation. Standard costs €474/year plus €150 setup for broader files. SCRAP eco-contributions depend on materials and tonnage and are always itemized separately and passed through at cost.

Fair question. eprspain.com is an independent private service operated by ONBOARDING, S.L., not a government body, responsibility scheme or marketplace. Any registration accepted by Spain's public Registro de Productores de Producto can be checked there, and certificates and producer numbers are issued by the relevant authorities or schemes, never by us. AnchorLess reviews and client counts relate to separate AnchorLess administrative services, not to EPRSpain clients, registrations or marketplace outcomes.
