Premium food-grade PET and rPET cold drinking cups engineered for high scalability and exceptional clarity in Spain.
The Spanish packaging sector is undergoing a profound structural evolution driven by the enactment of Ley 7/2022 de residuos y suelos contaminados para una economía circular and the introduction of the special tax on non-reusable plastic packaging (Impuesto Especial sobre los Envases de Plástico No Reutilizables). Beginning in January 2023, this tax levies €0.45 per kilogram of non-recycled plastic material. Consequently, food distributors, catering chains, and beverage brands across Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Andalusia are rapidly transitioning to recycled PET (rPET) solutions.
As a leading international manufacturer, COPAK supports Spanish importers by providing raw materials and finished PET cups that comply with these rigorous economic mandates. By utilizing certified recycled content, businesses in Spain can offset tax liabilities while satisfying the environmental expectations of European consumers. Our advanced co-extrusion technology enables customizable rPET formulations, ensuring that our products meet or exceed the mandatory recyclability requirements under EU packaging regulations.
Furthermore, with Spain serving as a global tourist hub hosting over 80 million visitors annually, the hospitality sector (HORECA) relies on high-durability and crystal-clear presentation. From bustling coastal beach clubs in Ibiza to urban cafes in Seville, the visual appeal and mechanical strength of cups are crucial metrics for brand preservation.

Engineered to withstand diverse commercial conditions across Spain's commercial sectors.
Spain's extensive coastline requires high-strength, shatter-proof cup options. Our crack-resistant PET cold cups prevent safety hazards on pool decks and sandy beaches in Mallorca, Marbella, and Ibiza, while their crystal clarity enhances the presentation of colorful fruit smoothies and cocktails.
Urban juice bars, specialty coffee houses, and fast-casual eateries in Madrid and Barcelona utilize our PET cup line for cold brews, horchata, and iced tea. Secure dome and flat lids prevent leakage during courier delivery services, keeping takeaway operations clean and efficient.
High-volume events such as Primavera Sound, Sónar, and Mad Cool require reliable drinkware suppliers. COPAK supplies bulk orders of highly stackable, printable PET cups that integrate with automated draft systems, reducing bar wait times and helping to minimize waste.
As packaging requirements shift toward a circular economy, COPAK's engineering teams are continuously optimizing our material science processes. We are systematically reducing the wall thickness of our standard PET cups without compromising mechanical load capacity, reducing total plastic consumption per unit by up to 15%.
Our current technical roadmap prioritizes high-purity recycled content (rPET), ensuring that our supply chains comply with the upcoming 2025 and 2030 European Single-Use Plastics Directives. By integrating mechanical recycling and advanced decontamination steps, our cups maintain food-safe certification, transparency, and mechanical properties.
Additionally, we are exploring bio-based alternatives, including PEF (Polyethylene Furanoate), to provide renewable packaging choices as raw material technologies develop. By partnering with COPAK, your business secures reliable supply lines that align with evolving sustainability requirements.

Important details regarding regulations, customization parameters, and shipping logistics to Spain.
Our products can be manufactured using certified recycled PET (rPET) up to 100% composition. Under the Spanish special tax on non-reusable plastic packaging (Ley 7/2022), the portion of the packaging consisting of recycled plastic is exempt from the €0.45/kg tax, provided it is certified by an accredited entity under UNE-EN 15343. We supply the necessary compliance documentation to assist your importing entity.
For standard, unprinted clear PET cups, our MOQ is relatively flexible depending on standard stock sizes. For custom-designed UV-printed cups (ranging from 1 to 6 colors), the typical MOQ starts at 30,000 units per size. This threshold ensures optimized run-times and favorable pricing for importers and distributors.
