What is it?
Environmental labeling is to identify all packaging used in the Italian market, to display its composition, facilitate its collection, reuse, recovery, recycling and proper disposal by the end-user.
Grifal and environmental labeling
We design and manufacture packaging that aims to protect products during transportation and distribution, so that they arrive in the best possible condition. And we accomplish this while simultaneously reducing the environmental impact of our activities each year, by:
- Encouraging our customers and the public to engage in the practice of proper disposal and separation of recyclable materials
- Designing new packaging that requires less CO2 for its production than existing alternatives
- Minimizing the consumption of raw materials
- Reusing and recycling materials whenever possible
- By recycling production waste back into the production cycle
Pursuant to Legislative Decree. September 3, 2020, no. 116, “Clarification on some issues related to mandatory environmental labeling of packaging” referred to in Art. 219, paragraph 5 of Legislative Decree April 3, 2006, no. 152, see below:
