VerpackDG – Packaging Act draft presented

In future, anyone who places packaging on the market will be required to make a financial contribution to packaging prevention. This is provided for in the draft of a new packaging law. The draft also contains higher recycling quotas. This is said to be the biggest reform of German packaging law in 35 years.

ElektroG amendment coming soon!

The Bundesrat has decided not to convene the mediation committee between the Bundestag and the Bundesrat. The background to this was the handling of e-cigarettes. This means that the amendment to the ElektroG can come into force as planned at the beginning of 2026.

Spain: easy packaging registration

In Spain, entities placing packaging materials on the market are required to register as producers and report the associated quantities, even if they are not based in Spain. Non-Spanish companies must also appoint an authorised representative in Spain for this purpose. Changes make the Spanish registration process easier than ever before.
