On 11 September 2020, the legislative decree 3 September 2020, n. 116, was published in the Official Journal transposing EU directive 2018/851 on waste, and directive (EU) 2018/852 on packaging and packaging waste.
This decree requires that all packaging is "appropriately labelled according to the methods established by the applicable UNI technical standards and in compliance with the decisions adopted by the Commission of the European Union, to facilitate the collection, re-use, recovery and recycling of packaging, as well as to give consumers correct information on the final destinations of the packaging. The producers also have the obligation to indicate, for the purposes of identification and classification of the packaging, the nature of the packaging materials used, based on Commission decision 97/129/EC."
This document has therefore been prepared in compliance with the regulatory references and considering the indications provided by the Guidelines on environmental labelling pursuant to art. 219, paragraph 5, of the legislative decree 3 April 2006, n. 152 of 07/27/2022, adopted with the Ministerial Decree n. 360 of 28 September 2022 published on 21 November 2022.
As required by the guidelines for B2B packaging, BL Mediterraneo provides for the fulfilment of the obligations regarding environmental labelling through digital channels (website) as an alternative to the physical application of the label on the packaging. To ensure that access to specific information for the packaging in question is easy and direct, and that this information is timely and not difficult to interpret, the information will be provided following the attached format.
