Prepare your Spain packaging declarations for 2026 data.
A workbook, a calculator and a calendar to turn your 2026 Spanish sales into the kilograms and tonnes by material that your scheme and MITECO ask for.

Key dates for 2026 data
- Before 28 February 2027
- Scheme (SCRAP) declaration, on your scheme’s portal and template.
- 2 January to 31 March 2027
- MITECO annual information for the Producer Register. It cannot be filed before or after this window.
One dataset, two separate declarations.
Royal Decree 1055/2022 asks packaging producers to report to their scheme and, separately, to send annual information to MITECO. Both start from the same figures: the units of each packaging component placed on the Spanish market during the year, and their weight by material.
| Scheme (SCRAP) declaration | MITECO annual information | |
|---|---|---|
| When | Before 28 February, on the scheme’s own calendar. | Window from 2 January to 31 March 2027 for 2026 data, confirmed by MITECO each year. |
| Where | The scheme’s producer portal, usually with its spreadsheet template. | MITECO’s electronic office: normal procedure, or simplified procedure below 15 t a year in defined cases. |
| What | Weights and units by material, flow and use, in the scheme’s categories. Some schemes also ask for plastic colour. | By category and responsibility system: packaging type, units, material, weight in tonnes to two decimals and, for plastic, recycled content. |
From components to tonnes by material.
Add one line per packaging component. Nothing leaves your browser; the workbook does the same calculations offline.

Totals by flow and material
Indicative calculation. Your scheme’s template and MITECO’s form may use their own lists of packaging types and materials; map each line to them before filing.
Every component, every unit, Spain only.
- Every packaging component counts: product box, bottle, cap, label, insert, void fill, mailer and shipping carton.
- Units first placed on the Spanish market from 1 January to 31 December 2026, including any period before your registration.
- Full-year actual units, not a projection or a running total from January.
- Spanish sales only, across every channel: marketplaces, your own store, wholesale and distributors.
- Household packaging generally reaches consumers; commercial and industrial packaging stays with businesses.
- For plastic, the recycled content: the MITECO form asks for it.
- The source of every weight — supplier specification, weighed sample or estimate — kept with the declaration.
- Is the MITECO annual information the same as the scheme declaration?
- No. The scheme (SCRAP) declaration follows your scheme’s contract, portal and calendar. The annual information to MITECO is a separate submission for the Producer Register. The same dataset can feed both, but one does not complete the other.
- Which period does the 2026 declaration cover?
- Packaging first placed on the Spanish market from 1 January to 31 December 2026, including any period before your registration. Use full-year actual units, not a projection.
- Can I use the simplified procedure?
- Below 15 tonnes of packaging a year, MITECO offers a simplified procedure in defined cases. Its manual describes it for producers established in Spain, so a foreign producer filing through a representative should confirm the route before filing. It is a reporting route, not an exemption from registration.
- Royal Decree 1055/2022 — Articles 16 and 17, Annex IV (BOE)
- MITECO — Producer Register, packaging section
General information, not legal advice. MITECO and each scheme confirm their own procedures and dates every year.

Annual declarations are included in our active packaging plans: we reconcile the data, you approve the figures before anything is filed.
