What is an Authorized Representative?
An authorized representative is a mandatory requirement for companies not based in Spain that place waste on the market. Their primary role is to serve as the legal point of contact with Spanish authorities, ensuring compliance with waste regulations by registering, reporting, and fulfilling their responsibilities as product manufacturers.
At Gestec, we take full responsibility for this process, handling your registration, documentation, and communication with the relevant authorities.
