As the interest towards recycling materials increases, along with the need for environmental sustainability, Europe has issued directives on how to correctly package and label waste. The purpose is to provide appropriate and helpful information to consumers, so that packaging products can be collected, reused, restored, and ultimately recycled.
These directives have been implemented in Italy. The Legislative Decree art. 219, comma 5 of D.L.vo 152/06, starting from January 1st, 2023, requires manufacturers to specify the type of materials with which packagings are made.
There are different ways to do this, from printing the information directly on the product itself, to sharing it through documents and/or computer systems (when allowed).
It should be noted that the flow of information regarding the type of packagings and their correct disposal needs to be functional and transparent. Dangerous goods aren’t exempted from these directives, they will also have to display the necessary information for their disposal.
How did Serpac decide to share this information?
The better part of our products, save from a few exceptions, will have the correct environmental label. This label will be:
The information will be additionally integrated, replaced or supported on every Document of Transport.
Furthermore, environmental labeling will also be added on our website, as well as every product’s technical datasheet.
