- EPR Registration & Reporting
EPR Registration in Spain
Are you affected by EPR regulations in Spain？
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a critical framework in Spain and throughout the EU that requires producers to manage the full lifecycle of their products—including production, usage, and end-of-life disposal—to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability.
Who Needs to Register for EPR in Spain?
The following types of businesses are considered as ‘producers’ under Spanish EPR regulations:
- Manufacturers
- Retailers
- Importers
- Resellers (including distance sales)
Any business that is considered a producer and trading in regulated products must register for the correct EPR categories.
EPR Categories in Spain
The following EPR categories are currently enforced in Spain.
- WEEE
- Batteries
- Packaging
Products classified as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are covered under this category.
The European Union has provided a consolidated list of 6 individual categories which are considered WEEE:
- Category 1: Temperature exchange equipment
- Category 2: Screens, monitors and equipment containing screens having a surface greater than 100 cm²
- Category 3: Lamps
- Category 4: Equipment with any external dimension more than 50 centimetres (Large equipment)
- Category 5: Equipment with no external dimension more than 50 centimetres (Small equipment)
- Category 6: Small IT and telecommunication equipment with no external dimension more than 50 centimetres
Products containing most of types of batteries (single-use, rechargeable, automotive) are covered under this category. If your product is classified as WEEE and also contains batteries, you will be required to register for both categories.
Products packed in primary and/or secondary packaging are covered under this category.
‘Primary’ packaging refers to the actual product packaging itself. ‘Secondary’ packaging refers to any additional packaging (e.g. shipping packaging, external protective padding etc.).
This means that many products covered by other categories will also be covered by the Packaging category – most products will be wrapped in its own packaging, along with shipping materials.
If your product contains a battery, you will also need to register for the Batteries category separately.
How to Stay Compliant
If you’re selling in Spain via platforms like Amazon, you must upload a valid EPR registration number for each applicable product category before listing your products.
📌 Failing to comply may result in:
Product listing removal
Seller account suspension
Financial penalties from local authorities
Selling through your own website? You’re still responsible for compliance—and subject to the same penalties if you fail to register.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, although each EU Member State is required to follow EU EPR principles, they are responsible for implementing their own domestic regulations. This means that every Member State will implement their own EPR categories and registration systems.
You will usually be considered a producer if you are a i) manufacturer, ii) retailer, iii) re-seller or iv) importer.
EU Member States who have implemented EPR regulations will usually require online marketplaces such as Amazon to verify that their sellers are compliant.
Most EU Member States are phasing in new EPR requirements gradually to allow businesses time to make the necessary arrangements for compliance. In order to minimise disruption to sales, it is therefore beneficial for businesses to ensure that they are fully compliant before any relevant enforcement dates.
