New Italian labelling requirements for packaging

意大利市场产品包装标签的新要求

On 1st January 2023, the delayed decree number 116/2020 relating to environmental labelling requirements finally came into force in Italy, after being postponed from January 2022. 2023年1月1日，意大利第116/2020号与环境标签要求相关的延期法令终于生效。该法令自2022年1月被推迟。
The legislation requires packaging material commonly used in the footwear industry, such as corrugated cardboard, non-corrugated cardboard and paper to be identified according to the European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC, so would have the codes 'PAP 20', 'PAP 21' and 'PAP 22' respectively. In addition, any packaging intended for end consumers must be clearly labelled with instructions for its disposal in Italian.该法规要求鞋类行业中常用的包装材料，如瓦楞纸板、非瓦楞纸板和纸张，必须根据欧洲议会和理事会指令94/62/EC进行标识，而将分别对应代码“PAP 20”、“PAP 21”和“PAP 22”。此外，任何用于终端消费者的包装都必须清楚地贴上标签，用意大利语说明如何对其进行处理。         
The Italian Consortium of Packaging Materials (CONAI) provides the following guidance as an example. Non-corrugated or   corrugated cardboard boxes that will not come into contact with food and are recyclable according to the technical standards defined by UNI EN 13430:2005 should be labelled with PAP 22 in reference to the material from which they are made. Additional text in Italian explains to the consumer that the item should be sorted or   separated for disposal and to check the arrangements for disposal in their area. There are also recommendations to provide further information, such as emptying and compressing the packaging before disposal.  CONAI provides a free access online tool called ‘e-tichetta’ which companies can use to check the labelling requirements for particular packaging items.意大利包装材料协会（CONAI）提供了以下指南作为示例。根据UNI EN 13430:2005规定的技术标准，不与食品接触且可回收的非瓦楞或瓦楞纸板箱，应根据其制造材料贴上PAP 22标签。附上的意大利语文本向消费者解释该物品应分类还是分开处理，并检查其所在区域的处理安排。还建议提供进一步信息，例如在处置前清空和压缩包装。CONAI提供了一个名为“e-ticetta”的免费在线工具，公司可以使用该工具检查具体包装物品的标签要求。         
Penalty fines can be levied on any company bringing product to market that does not comply with the legislation. However, packaging already on the market on 31st December 2022 that is not labelled in accordance with the new legislation can continue to be sold. The legislation only affects new items placed to the market after 1st January 2023.任何将不合规产品投放市场的公司都会被处以罚款。不过，2022年12月31日已投放市场、未按新规贴标签的包装可以继续销售。该法规仅影响2023年1月1日之后投放市场的新产品。
