Update of the Collection Point Manual – New Registration Deadline

We inform that the deadline for the registration of Collection Points has been extended to 28 February 2026, in accordance with the updated Collection Point Manual.

This extension results from the impact of the holiday period on the registration process, ensuring adequate conditions for compliance by all operators. This date should be considered final for planning purposes and for eligibility to the support mechanisms provided, which can be consulted in the document Incentive System to Accelerate the Implementation of the Deposit Return System.

We recall that registration within the deadline is an essential eligibility requirement. We also take this opportunity to remind that the Collection Point Contract has recently been published.
