What international sellers need to understand

International sellers placing packaged products on the Italian market should assess CONAI, EPR and packaging contribution obligations against current verified rules. The exact route depends on who places the packaging on the market, how products are sold, the kind of packaging used, and the effective rules on the relevant date.

✓

CONAI

Italy’s National Packaging Consortium.

♻

EPR

Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging.

▣

Packaging materials

Material categories can affect registration, reporting and contributions.

€

Environmental contributions

Applicable contributions depend on current scheme rules.

◎

Producer / importer

Responsibility depends on the effective national definition and supply chain.

◇

PPWR interaction

The EU regulation and national implementation must be tracked together.

  3. Verify producer status against the effective rule.
  4. Complete registrations and scheme participation where required.
  5. Coordinate an eligible local partner where the law requires one.
  6. Report packaging and retain dated evidence.

PPWR and national rules

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 generally applies from 12 August 2026. National registration, EPR and reporting requirements may interact with PPWR and can change. The checker therefore evaluates rules by effective date and verification status.
