Portugal guide · source reviewed 14 Aug 2026

Everything we hold on Portugal,

and where we read it.

The register, the schemes and the legal texts behind every figure we publish for Portugal — with the gaps left in plain sight. The long-form guidance lives on eprportugal.com, which we run too; this page says what stands behind it.

What we hold

The register is public. The scheme is private. They are not the same thing.

Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente (APA) runs SILiAmb. The approved scheme depends on the stream and product. We prepare the registrations and declarations, then keep each response beside your other countries. A register and a scheme remain separate: the public side records the producer, while the private side bills the contribution. Completing one does not complete the other.

SILiAmb is the registration platform APA runs. Everything is filed through it.

  • Packaging

    Two schemes are approved for packaging. Which one fits depends on your materials and volumes, and the review says which.

  • WEEE

    Register
    SILiAmb
    Scheme
    Electrão

  • Batteries

    Depends on your product category

    Battery producers use the same SILiAmb registration platform; the collective scheme depends on the battery category.

  1. 31 March

    Annual declaration

    The date that costs money if you miss it. Portugal publishes it in plain sight; where a country does not, this page says so instead of guessing.

Legal basis

The texts we read. Named, so you can read them too.

These are the references the authority and the schemes cite. We do not paraphrase them into a summary and call it guidance — we name them, and we say the day we last read them.

  • Decree-Law 152-D/2017, consolidated version

What we don't hold

The gaps, named. “We have no source” is not “you owe nothing”.

A seller who reads a blank as “nothing to do here” does not register, and finds out when a listing comes down. So every blank on this page is written out, with what it does and does not mean.

  • Textiles

    No register and no scheme documented for this stream in Portugal. That is a gap in our sources, not a statement that you owe nothing — the two are different, and only a person closes the distance.

  • Thresholds and exemptions

    None published in the sources we hold. Most EPR rules trigger on the first unit placed on the market rather than on a turnover threshold, and the scope check says whether an exemption applies to you.

We publish a source ledger for all 10 countries we run. The other member states stay listed without a promised opening date. See all countries

The long version lives on eprportugal.com.

We run that site, in the local language, and it carries the full guidance for Portugal. This page is the ledger behind it — what we hold, where it comes from, and what is still blank. The canonical for the national detail points there, not here.

Portugal is one row. Here's the rest of what you owe.
