To comply with the Royal Decree on Packaging and Packaging Waste, which introduces as a new feature the application of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to industrial and commercial packaging, Detervic joined the SCRAP ENVALORA collective scheme in 2023, www.envalora.es
What changes with Royal Decree 1055/2022
Royal Decree 1055/2022 on packaging and packaging waste extends extended producer responsibility (EPR) to industrial and commercial packaging, and not just to household packaging. In practice, companies that place packaged products on the market become responsible for financing and organising the management of the waste generated by that packaging. This obligation can be met individually or by joining a collective extended producer responsibility scheme (known in Spain as a SCRAP), which takes on the management on behalf of its member companies.
What ENVALORA is
ENVALORA is a collective extended producer responsibility scheme for industrial and commercial packaging. By joining it, Detervic, the company that manufactures Instaquim products, channels its obligations as a producer of packaged products through this scheme. You can find more information on how it works at www.envalora.es.
What our customers can do with empty containers
- Empty containers completely before disposing of them.
- Sort containers by material and do not mix them with other waste.
- Hand them over to an authorised waste manager or to the collection system that applies in your area or to your activity.
- Follow the disposal instructions on the label and in the safety data sheet of each product.
- If you are unsure how to handle the packaging of our products, ask your sales contact at Instaquim.
Packaging and environmental commitment
Joining ENVALORA adds to other measures to reduce the impact of our packaging, such as the use of bag-in-box formats for part of the range. As a manufacturer of cleaning chemicals with its own plant in Vic since 1990, we see packaging management as part of our responsibility towards the environment: a product's life does not end when its container is empty.
