# Oregon vs Spain EPR: Rules Compared

Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/compare/oregon-vs-spain

<a id="answer"></a>

Oregon and Spain both run packaging EPR, but the rules differ. Both require producers to register. Spain asks for its first annual report earlier, on March 31 against May 31 in Oregon. Every figure below links to its primary source.

## Oregon and Spain side by side

2 of 9 rows have a verified figure on each side of Oregon and Spain; a cell reads “not yet published” when a side has none, and an exemption row reads “none recorded; see thresholds” when no exemption is on record.

<a id="glance-table"></a>**Oregon and Spain: the measures both programmes publish**

| Measure | Oregon | Spain | Stricter |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registration duty | Required | Required | Same |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation | more than one producer responsibility organisation | Not comparable |
| Lowest revenue exemption | $5,000,000 | none recorded; see thresholds | Not comparable |
| Lowest weight exemption | 1 tonne | none recorded; see thresholds | Not comparable |
| First annual report date | May 31 | March 31 | Spain |
| Published penalties | 1 published | 3 published | Not comparable |
| Report file | csv | csv | Not comparable |
| Paper fee, cheapest matched rate | 2.0 cents per pound | 0.117 EUR/kg | Not comparable |
| Plastic fee, cheapest matched rate | 12.0 cents per pound | 0.530 EUR/kg | Not comparable |

<a id="calc-registration"></a>Both programmes require a producer to register, in Oregon and in Spain.

<a id="calc-report-date"></a>The earliest annual report date is May 31 in Oregon and March 31 in Spain, 61 days apart. Spain leaves less time to prepare, so its data has to be ready first.

<a id="programme"></a>

## Who runs the programme in Oregon and Spain

Who collects and who the producer files with, in Oregon and then Spain.

<a id="programme-table"></a>**Oregon and Spain: how each programme is set up**

| Aspect | Oregon | Spain |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Regime | Oregon Recycling Modernization Act, ORS 459A.860 to 459A.975 (SB 582 of 2021) | Royal Decree 1055/2022 on packaging and packaging waste, under Law 7/2022 on waste and contaminated soils |
| Regulator | Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) | Ministry for the Ecological Transition (MITECO), Directorate-General for Environmental Quality and Assessment |
| Producers obligated | Yes | Yes |
| Registration | Required, Circular Action Alliance producer portal (PRO registration); DEQ holds no separate producer registry | Required, Packaging section of the Register of Product Producers (Registro de Productores de Productos) |
| Producer organisation | one producer responsibility organisation: Circular Action Alliance; membership required | more than one producer responsibility organisation: Ecoembes, Ecovidrio; membership required |
| Transfer of responsibility | Allowed | Allowed |
| Revenue counted as | organisation gross revenue, USD, fiscal year | not yet published |
| Who counts as the producer | other: first distributor; primary: manufacturer or brand owner, brand licensee, importer; secondary: manufacturer or brand owner, brand licensee, importer; service: first distributor; shipping: packer and shipper; tertiary: first distributor | primary: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor; secondary: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor; service: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor; shipping: online marketplace seller, manufacturer or brand owner; tertiary: manufacturer or brand owner, importer, first distributor |

> **Not yet published**: Not yet published for Spain: how revenue is counted. Reason: Spanish law sets obligations by packaging weight and units, not by turnover; no revenue basis was found in the retrieved text.

The two programmes are organised differently. Oregon uses one producer responsibility organisation; Spain uses more than one producer responsibility organisation. For a seller in both, that usually means two different counterparties, two different sign-up routes and two different sets of terms to read before the first report is due.

<a id="thresholds"></a>

## Thresholds and exemptions in Oregon and Spain

Every verified threshold Oregon and Spain publish, as each states it.

<a id="a-exemption-small-producer"></a>Oregon exemption: A small producer is exempt from PRO membership. Seven ways to qualify: nonprofit, public body, revenue under $5 million, under 1 metric ton, small beverage manufacturer, restaurant or food cart that is not a food-serviceware producer, single retail establishment with no online sales and no franchise or chain. It does not have to be applied for.

<a id="rates"></a>

## Fees per kilogram for shared materials

4 material classes have a published rate on both sides; each row shows the cheapest rate that fits the class.

<a id="rates-table"></a>**Cheapest published rate per kilogram by material class, Oregon and Spain**

| Material class | Oregon (USD per kg) | Spain (EUR per kg) | Spain in USD, approx. | Higher fee |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| paper and board | 2.0 cents per pound | 0.117 EUR/kg | not yet published | Not comparable |
| plastic | 12.0 cents per pound | 0.530 EUR/kg | not yet published | Not comparable |
| glass | 0.0 cents per pound | 0.03761 EUR/kg | not yet published | Not comparable |
| steel | 4.0 cents per pound | 0.197 EUR/kg | not yet published | Not comparable |

Scaling the cheapest published rate by weight shows what the gap between Oregon and Spain amounts to for a given tonnage of one material. The amounts are the rate times the weight, nothing added.

> **Not yet published**: Oregon: the programme’s own report specification is not yet published. Reason: The detailed Oregon reporting guidance is released only to producers who have signed the CAA PPA. No public layout was found. The layout above is Instica’s working layout.

> **Not yet published**: Spain: the programme’s own report specification is not yet published. Reason: The field list is set by RD 1055/2022 Annex IV §2: an annual report by 31 March of weight by material type and number of units, broken down by EPR scheme and packaging category, entered in the Registro de Productores de Productos; the material options exist only in the registry. Instica's file is its own working worksheet in kilograms by Instica category and does not yet reproduce that layout, so its figures are for the customer to enter in the recipient's form. The layout above is Instica’s working layout.

The two layouts share a file type and a delimiter, but each programme names its own columns and categories, so one file cannot be sent to both programmes. Each report is built from the same underlying measurements and exported separately.

<a id="choose"></a>

## Which to plan for first, Oregon or Spain

Plan around the earlier report date first. Spain asks for its first annual report on March 31, before Oregon, so its data has to be ready first.

<a id="faq"></a>

## Questions about comparing these two programmes

### <a id="q1"></a>Is Oregon or Spain stricter on packaging EPR?

Both require producers to register. Spain asks for its first annual report earlier, on March 31 against May 31 in Oregon.

### <a id="q2"></a>Do I register in both Oregon and Spain?

Oregon requires producers to register. Spain requires producers to register.

### <a id="q3"></a>How do the fees per kilogram compare in Oregon and Spain?

The two schedules share material classes but the dataset holds no published exchange rate between USD and EUR, so the fees are shown in each currency without a ranking.

### <a id="q4"></a>Which deadline comes first, Oregon or Spain?

The earliest annual report date is May 31 in Oregon and March 31 in Spain, 61 days apart. Spain leaves less time to prepare, so its data has to be ready first.

<a id="estimate"></a>

## How these figures are made

> **Estimate**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. Every figure on this page is read from a sourced record or computed from one, and each carries its data quality. Converted amounts are approximate and name the exchange rate used. The customer signs and submits each report; Instica never stores regulator login details and never files on your behalf.
