Eco-Ret Moldova, the administrator of the Deposit Return System (SDA) in the Republic of Moldova, informs producers, importers, retailers and other stakeholders about the current stage of preparation of the SDA mark, intended to identify beverage packaging covered by the system.
As part of the implementation of SDA and in accordance with Government Decision No. 379/2025, Eco-Ret Moldova has developed the proposed SDA mark and submitted it to the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Moldova for review and approval.
The finalisation of the SDA mark is being carried out in close cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, including through public consultations, to ensure that the mark is clear, easily recognisable to consumers and aligned with the technical and operational requirements of the system.
This approach provides an opportunity to consider comments and proposals from stakeholders and contributes to the establishment of consistent marking requirements for all beverage producers and importers participating in SDA.
Eco-Ret Moldova has completed the preparation and submission of the proposed SDA mark and is ready to publish the related technical documentation.
Following the completion of the consultation process and official approval of the mark, Eco-Ret Moldova will publish the complete set of information and materials required for its implementation on www.ecoretsda.md, including:
- the officially approved graphic version of the SDA mark;
- technical requirements concerning its dimensions, legibility and use;
- rules for positioning the mark on packaging and labels;
- graphic files and implementation guidelines for producers and importers.
Until the official version is approved and published, the materials under review and consultation remain proposals and do not constitute the final specifications for applying the SDA mark to packaging.
Eco-Ret Moldova values its constructive cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and the engagement of stakeholders in this process, which contributes to the development of an effective, transparent and accessible national system.
Eco-Ret Moldova is ready to make the official SDA marking requirements and supporting materials available to economic operators immediately following their approval, through www.ecoretsda.md.
