Environmental labeling of packaging
ELETTROCANALI adopts a labeling system for the disposal of packaging based on Directive 97/129 UE.
Packaging materials are identified with a number and an acronym that help consumers to dispose the packaging properly.
According to the indications given by to the European Commission the consumer has to be correctly informed about the disposal of the packaging used for each product. This can be carried out by labels showing the correct packaging acronyms and symbols.
Always check the rules of your municipality for a correct waste separation.
