Applications of Royal Decree 1055/2022, of December 27th, on packaging and packaging waste

Royal Decree 1055/2022 on packaging and packaging waste aims to establish the legal regime applicable to packaging and packaging waste with the aim of preventing and reducing its impact on the environment throughout its entire life cycle. To this end, measures are established aimed, as a first priority, at preventing the production of packaging waste and, taking into account other fundamental principles, the reuse of packaging, recycling and other forms of recovery of packaging waste and, therefore, to the reduction of the final disposal of said waste, including the presence of packaging waste in dispersed garbage, in order to contribute to the transition towards a circular economy.
