Tax on non-reusable plastic packaging in Spain

Spain recently introduced a new law on waste and contaminated soils for a circular economy (Law 7/2022). It regulates a special tax on non-reusable plastic packaging as part of its efforts to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment. This tax affects companies that use non-reusable plastic packaging in their operations, such as chemical distributors. Chemical distributors face a difficult choice: either pay the tax and contribute to plastic waste or find alternative packaging solutions that are more environmentally friendly.

One solution that chemical distributors can consider is the use of durable rotomolded VARIBOX IBCs. VARIBOX IBCs are intermediate bulk containers that are designed to meet the needs of chemical distributors. They are made from polyethylene, a durable and flexible plastic material that is resistant to chemicals and impact. The roto-molding process results in a seamless and uniform product that is highly resistant to cracks and other forms of damage.

In addition to being durable, VARIBOX IBCs are also designed to be reusable. Unlike non-reusable plastic packaging, VARIBOX IBCs can be used over and over again for up to 5 years, reducing the amount of waste generated by chemical distribution operations. This also makes them a cost-effective solution, as chemical distributors will not have to constantly purchase new packaging.

Tax on non-reusable plastic packaging and VARIBOX IBCs

VARIBOX IBCs are not subject to the special tax on non-reusable plastic packaging in Spain. This means that chemical distributors can reduce their costs and avoid contributing to plastic waste by using VARIBOX IBCs instead of non-reusable plastic packaging.

VARIBOX IBCs are also low-maintenance and easy to use. They have a compact design and can be stacked, making them an ideal choice for chemical distributors who need to maximize storage space. They are also easy to clean and maintain, which reduces the costs associated with maintenance and cleaning.

In addition to being environmentally friendly and cost-effective, VARIBOX IBCs are also safe to use. They are designed to meet strict safety standards and are tested to ensure that they meet these standards. This gives chemical distributors peace of mind knowing that their products are being stored and transported in safe containers.

In conclusion, chemical distributors in Spain should consider using durable rotomolded VARIBOX IBCs in their operations. These IBCs offer a number of benefits, including durability, reusability, cost-effectiveness, low maintenance, safety, and the ability to avoid the special tax on non-reusable plastic packaging. By choosing VARIBOX IBCs, chemical distributors can reduce their costs, protect the environment, and ensure the safe storage and transportation of their products.
