What is SDDR?

Spain's Deposit, Return, and Refund System (SDDR) is the Spanish answer to separate-collection targets for single-use packaging. Every covered container carries a small deposit the consumer gets back on return. For businesses, that means a new deposit code on the label, on top of existing PPWR obligations.

Who does it affect?

SDDR affects any business placing these on the Spanish market:

Plastic (PET) beverage bottles up to 3 liters
Metal beverage cans up to 3 liters
Beverage cartons up to 3 liters

If your business makes, imports, or distributes any of these containers in Spain, you'll need compliant deposit labels once the system triggers.

Generate your SDDR labels in minutes, not weeks.

PPWRsolution calculates the correct deposit code for every SKU and generates a print-ready label, no spreadsheet or packaging supplier required.

Check your SDDR coverage before it triggers.
