Spain Defines Which Waste Register Data Are Public, From Company Names to Authorised Treatment Operations
Spain's Official State Gazette published Order TED/1024/2026 of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge on October 3, defining which information held in the Register of Waste Production and Management (RPGR) is public and can be consulted electronically. Signed on September 30 and in force from October 4, the order completes, together with Royal Decree 764/2026, which took effect on October 2, the new framework for Spain's single waste register.
Public data include the name or business name and address of registered entities, and their tax number in the case of legal persons; individuals are identified by name plus four random digits of their identity document, with only the address of their business activity shown. The name, address, economic activity code (CNAE) and environmental identification number (NIMA) of registered sites are also public.
For treatment facilities and operators the disclosure goes further, covering authorised treatment operations and the waste codes (LER) approved for each operation. Registrations of waste agents, dealers and transporters can likewise be consulted. The order stresses that data that may constitute trade secrets, and personal data, remain protected.
The register operates through the electronic Waste Information System (eSIR). The autonomous communities and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla have twelve months to adapt their databases to the new structure.
