Environmental Labelling
The term “environmental labelling” refers to the requirement to indicate on packaging—in accordance with the procedures established by the applicable UNI technical standards and in compliance with the decisions adopted by the European Commission—the information necessary to facilitate the collection, reuse, recovery, and recycling of packaging, as well as to provide consumers with accurate information about the final destinations of the packaging.
To what extent do environmental labelling regulations apply to Drorys labels? It depends on the type of packaging the customer uses for their product!
Can the Drorys
label be separated manually from your
packaging?
A component is considered manually separable if the user can completely separate it from the main body—without risk to their health and safety—using only their hands and without needing additional tools or equipment. In this case, the information required by the regulations must also be provided for the Drorys label. Contact us, and we’ll be happy to provide you with all the information you need to fulfill this requirement.
Is the Drorys label NOT
manually separable from your
packaging?
Packaging is defined as “composite” when it consists of different materials that cannot be separated by hand. In this case, if—as is very likely—the Drorys label accounts for less than 5% of the total mass of the packaging unit, you are only required to list the predominant material by weight. If you have any questions, contact us and we’ll be happy to offer our advice.
Guidelines for
Environmental Labelling
The CONAI Guidelines provide answers to questions regarding the interpretation of the new regulatory framework and offer guidance on its correct application. The document clearly identifies the information that must be included on environmental labels and is supplemented by practical examples drawn from the experience of many companies.
The online “e-tichetta” tool for environmental labelling of packaging is a useful resource for creating an environmental label that complies with existing regulatory standards. This includes informing consumers about the composition of the packaging material, how to dispose of it at the end of its life to ensure high-quality recycling, and other information useful for characterizing the packaging from an environmental perspective.
