EU Deposit-Return Scheme implementation (Spain)
Sunday 22nd November, 2026
Spain will roll out a national deposit-return scheme for single-use beverage containers by 22 November 2026 to boost recycling and reduce litter.
This gives Lego a chance to join conversations about packaging, circular design and waste reduction in Spain and the EU, where the brand already sources and sells products.
Why have we flagged this?
Lego can credibly join the sustainability conversation — e.g., promote recyclable packaging, show progress on reusable or take-back pilots, or launch a data-led story about reducing single-use plastics in packaging — but the deposit-return scheme targets beverage containers specifically, so the fit is indirect and would need a well-crafted, locally relevant angle to land coverage in Spain.
