Hi everyone! Yesterday, I came across this new shipping issue that’s been raised in Europe during a discussion.
For those who haven’t heard: the European Commission has stipulated that if you send products to other European countries, you must engage a packaging waste disposal agent. What this effectively means, of course, is that all small retailers are facing major problems. Because the costs for these agents are enormous.
Now, yesterday a fact was clarified that I wasn’t aware of before: this mainly affects packaging with a logo. So, if you use unprinted cardboard boxes without a logo or sticker, you don’t have to deal with this hurdle. So, if you’re sending a parcel from one European country to another, packed without any advertising or branding, you don’t need to appoint this new packaging agent. Did you already know that?
No tenía idea sobre la distinción de logotipos; eso es realmente útil. He estado enviando piezas en cajas simples durante años, solo porque el empaque con marca me parecía demasiado pulido para lo que hago, pero saber que en realidad evita todo este lío es un alivio. Los costos que mencionaste habrían sido un verdadero problema, especialmente para envíos más pequeños.
