Pursuant to European Directives 2018/851/EU on waste and 2018/852/EU on packaging and packaging waste, all packaging must be labelled appropriately in accordance with the methods established by applicable technical standards and in accordance with the decisions adopted by the European Commission, in order to facilitate the collection, reuse, recovery and recycling of packaging, and to provide correct information to consumers on the final destinations of packaging.For the purpose of packaging identification and classification, producers are also obliged to indicate the nature of the packaging materials used, in accordance with Commission Decision 97/129/EC. Furthermore, on 21 November 2022 in Italy, Ministerial Decree no. 360 of 28 September 2022 was published, which adopts the Guidelines on environmental labelling pursuant to art. 219, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree 3 April 2006, no. 152, for the correct fulfilment of the packaging labelling obligations by the responsible subjects.
