Mandatory environmental labeling of packaging postponed

Art. 11 “Extension of terms regarding ecological transition” of the “Milleproroghe” decree law (DL 30.12.2021, no. 228), published in the Official Gazette on December 30, moves to June 30, 2022 the obligation of environmental labeling of packaging provided for by art. 219 of the TUA.

It is also stipulated that products already placed on the market or labelled may be marketed until stocks are exhausted by July 1, 2022.

Finally, within 30 days of the entry into force of the Thousand-Extensions Decree (i.e. by January 30), the Ministry for Ecological Transition adopts the technical guidelines for labelling by non-regulatory decree. The decree, which has been in force since the day after publication, must now be converted into law.
