CONAI体系下的包装生产者责任延伸（EPR）及PPWR更新
借助CONAI（意大利国家包装联盟），意大利运营着欧洲历史最悠久且最成熟的包装EPR体系之一——该体系自1998年起运行，2020年经第116/2020号立法法令进行了根本性改革，如今则以欧盟内最为复杂的生态调节体系之一而著称。
意大利的独特之处在于：包装上环境标签的要求、由七个材料联盟组成的回收体系，以及自2026年8月12日起欧盟《包装与包装废弃物法规》（PPWR）的适用——然而，该法规最初并不会取代现有的CONAI格式，而是允许两者并行运行至2028年8月11日。自生效之日起，将开始为期两年的宽限期，在此期间，CONAI格式和新的统一的欧盟分拣标识可同时合法合规地使用。
以下是在意大利实现包装合规的7个最重要步骤——包括2026年的现行费率、PPWR时间表以及一份完整的检查清单。
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Packaging under the CONAI System + PPWR Update
With CONAI (Consorzio Nazionale Imballaggi), Italy operates one of the oldest and most sophisticated packaging EPR systems in Europe – in operation since 1998, fundamentally reformed in 2020 by Legislative Decree 116/2020, and today characterized by one of the most complex eco-modulation systems within the EU.
What makes Italy unique: the requirement for environmental labeling on packaging, a recycling system consisting of seven material consortia, and, starting August 12, 2026, the application of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) – which, however, will not initially replace the existing CONAI format but will allow both to run in parallel until August 11, 2028.
Starting on the effective date, a two-year grace period begins during which the CONAI format and the new, harmonized EU sorting symbols may be used simultaneously in a legally compliant manner.
Here are the 7 most important steps for packaging compliance in Italy – including current rates for 2026, the PPWR timeline, and a complete checklist.
CONAI体系区分了两种角色，这两种角色可能会重叠：
生产者 (Manufacturers):
包装使用者 (Users / Fillers):
电子商务与市场平台：直接向意大利终端消费者送货的外国在线零售商被视为进口商。无论其来源地（欧盟或非欧盟），他们均需在CONAI注册，并为其所有运输纸箱、填充材料和服务包装缴纳CAC环境费。市场平台（如Amazon.it、eBay.it、Zalando IT）自2025/2026年起一直在积极要求提供CONAI注册证明。
实操示例：一家德国公司使用纸板运输包装，将化妆品直接发往意大利终端客户 → 该公司被视为“使用者”（Utilizzatore）→ 必须在CONAI注册（直接注册或通过授权代表）→ 必须在商业单据上注明CONAI会员编号 → 必须按年度申报包装用量（纸板、塑料薄膜、填充材料）→ 根据申报用量缴纳CAC环境费 → 确保包装上附有意大利语的环境标签。
CONAI是伞形组织。各种包装材料的实际收集、分类和回收工作，由七个国家认可的材料联盟负责处理：
| 材料联盟 | 材料 | 特点 |
|---|---|---|
| COMIECO | 纸和纸板 | 体系完善; 回收率高 |
| COREPLA | 塑料 | 体系最为复杂; 设有9个缴费档次 (Fasce); 生态调节机制力度强 |
| COREVE | 玻璃 | 2025/2026年费率大幅上涨 (从15欧元/吨涨至40欧元/吨) |
| CIAL | 铝 | 高回收率; 费率稳定 |
| RICREA | 钢 | 对于钢质包装（罐、桶） |
| RILEGNO | 木材 | 托盘、木箱；工业包装 |
| BIOREPACK | 生物塑料 (可堆肥) | 自2021/2022年起全面投入运营；适用于符合EN 13432标准的可堆肥包装。 |
对生产者的运作方式： 加入CONAI后，企业自动成为所有相关材料联盟的成员——无需单独加入每个联盟。报告通过CONAI门户集中提交，资金由CONAI按比例分配给各相关联盟。各联盟则与地方市政当局紧密协调，组织包装的收集、处理和回收工作。
在意大利实现EPR合规的7个最重要步骤
第1步：指定授权代表（适用于外国公司）
1. 直接面向终端消费者（B2C / 在线零售）：任何没有意大利注册地址的企业，若将包装货物直接交付给终端消费者，必须向CONAI办理包装许可。外国公司（无论欧盟还是非欧盟）均可独立在线直接注册；虽然指定授权代表在法律上并非强制，但由于意大利行政手续繁琐，服务提供商通常仍会予以建议。
因此，外国公司在CONAI有两种选择:
授权代表的要求或对授权代表的要求:
3. 根据欧盟《包装与包装废弃物法规》（PPWR）：PPWR收紧了整个欧洲跨境直接销售的法规。在线市场平台被要求验证有效的EPR注册程序。若未能提供CONAI编号的证明，将导致意大利市场的账户被暂停。根据PPWR，现在仅对来自非欧盟第三国的零售商强制要求指定当地授权代表。
第2步：向CONAI注册
在CONAI (www.conai.org)注册是所有在意大利将包装投放市场的公司的强制性步骤。
流程:
会员编号的使用要求：商业单据上应注明CONAI会员编号。Amazon.it和Bol.com.be在商户入驻过程中会主动要求提供该编号。
第3步：按材料和贡献等级对包装进行分类
在提交首次报告之前，所有包装都必须按材料进行分类，并且对于塑料包装，还需按贡献等级（Fasce）进行分类。这一分类决定了适用费率。
多组分包装的规则：若包装由多种材料组成，且次要材料占总重量不足5%，则该包装被视为单一材料包装（以主要材料计）；若次要材料占比超过5%，则视为复合材料包装，必须按此进行申报和标识。
第4步：财务义务与CAC费率
CAC（CONAI环境贡献费）是该体系的核心费用——按投放市场的每吨包装材料计收。
所有材料的CONAI环境贡献费（Contributo Ambientale）当前概览可在 CONAI环境贡献费获取。
塑料贡献等级（COREPLA等级体系）
COREPLA体系是欧盟内最复杂且最具创新性的体系：塑料包装根据其可回收性、材料构成及处理方式，被划分为9个贡献等级（Fasce A至E，并设有子等级）。更多信息请参见 Contributo diversificato plastica
第5步：申报要求
申报频率根据贡献金额确定:
申报内容:
渠道：通过CONAI会员门户在线提交。
第6步：环境标签
在意大利，所有包装都必须附有环境标签。这一要求适用于整个供应链中几乎所有的包装（包括制造商、进口商、在线零售商）。
注意：当欧盟《包装与包装废弃物法规》（EU）2025/40（简称PPWR）于2026年8月生效时，将适用新规。然而，由于法定过渡期的规定，在2028年8月11日之前，允许继续以现有形式使用当前的意大利环境标签。此后，必须强制性地替换为该法规第12条所规定的、新的统一欧盟标签（含图形符号）。
第7步：遵守特定要求——一次性塑料（SUPD）及PET再生含量
一次性塑料指令：意大利已通过第196/2021号立法法令实施了欧盟SUPD指令。自2025年起，特定要求将适用于一次性塑料包装。:
The CONAI system distinguishes between two roles, which may overlap:
Produttori (Manufacturers):
Utilizzatori (Users / Fillers):
E-commerce & marketplaces: Foreign online retailers who deliver directly to end consumers in Italy are considered importers. Regardless of their origin (EU or non-EU), they are required to register with CONAI and pay the CAC environmental fee for all shipping cartons, filling materials, and service packaging. Marketplaces (Amazon.it, eBay.it, Zalando IT) have been actively requiring proof of CONAI registration since 2025/2026.
Practical example: A German company ships cosmetic products in cardboard shipping packaging directly to Italian end customers → is considered a “Utilizzatore” → must register with CONAI (directly or through an authorized representative) → must include the CONAI membership number on commercial documents → must report packaging quantities (cardboard, plastic film, filler material) annually → pay CAC based on the reported quantities → ensure environmental labeling in Italian on packaging.
The CONAI System: Umbrella Organization + 7 Material Consortia
CONAI is the umbrella organization. The physical collection, sorting, and recycling of the various packaging materials are handled by seven state-recognized material consortia:
Consortium
How it works for manufacturers: By joining CONAI, a company automatically becomes part of all relevant material consortia – no separate membership in each consortium is required. Reports are submitted centrally via the CONAI portal, and funds are distributed by CONAI proportionally to the relevant consortia. The consortia organize collection, processing, and recycling in close coordination with local municipalities.
The 7 Most Important Steps for EPR Compliance in Italy
Step 1: Appoint an Authorized Representative (for foreign companies)
1. Direct to End Consumers (B2C / Online Retail):
Any company without an Italian registered office that delivers packaged goods directly to end consumers must license the packaging with CONAI. Foreign companies (both EU and non-EU) can register directly and independently online; while appointing an authorized representative is legally optional, service providers often recommend it due to Italian bureaucracy.
A foreign company thus has two options with CONAI:
Requirements for the authorized representative:
3. Under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR):
The PPWR tightens regulations on cross-border direct sales across Europe. Online marketplaces are required to verify valid EPR registration procedures. Failure to provide proof of a CONAI number will result in account suspension for the Italian market. Under the PPWR, a local authorized representative is now only mandatory for retailers from non-EU third countries.
Step 2: Registration with CONAI
Registration with CONAI (www.conai.org) is a mandatory step for all companies that place packaging on the market in Italy.
Procedure:
Requirement to use the membership number: The CONAI membership number should be included on commercial documents. Amazon.it and Bol.com.be actively require this during merchant onboarding.
Step 3: Classify packaging by material and contribution tier
Before the first report can be submitted, all packaging must be classified by material and – in the case of plastic – by contribution tier. This classification determines the rate.
Rule for multi-component packaging: If a package consists of multiple materials and the secondary material accounts for less than 5% of the total weight, the package is considered single-material packaging (primary material). If it accounts for more than 5%, it is considered composite packaging and must be reported and labeled as such.
Step 4: Financial Obligations & CAC Rates
The CAC (Contributo Ambientale CONAI) is the core fee of the system – per ton of packaging material placed on the market.
The current overview of CONAI environmental contributions (Contributo Ambientale) for all materials is available at CONAI Contributo Ambientale.
Plastic Contribution Levels (COREPLA Fascia System)
The COREPLA system is the most complex and innovative within the EU: plastic packaging is divided into 9 contribution levels (Fasce A through E, with sub-levels), based on its recyclability, material mix, and processing route. More information is available at Contributo diversificato plastica.
Step 5: Reporting Requirements
Reporting frequency based on contribution amount:
Reporting content:
Channel: Digitally via the CONAI member portal
Step 6: Environmental Labeling
In Italy, all packaging must bear an environmental label. This requirement applies to almost all packaging throughout the entire supply chain (manufacturers, importers, online retailers).
Note: New rules will apply when the EU Packaging Regulation 2025/40 (PPWR) enters into force in August 2026. However, due to the statutory transition periods, it will be permitted to continue using the current Italian environmental labeling in its existing form until August 11, 2028. After that, it will be mandatorily replaced by the new, uniform EU labeling with pictograms, as specified in Article 12 of the Regulation.
Step 7: Comply with specific requirements: Single-Use Plastics (SUPD) & Recycled Content PET
Single-Use Plastics Directive: Italy has implemented the EU SUPD Directive through Legislative Decree 196/2021. Starting in 2025, specific requirements will apply to single-use plastic packaging:
1. 确定您的角色：生产者、使用者，还是两者兼有？（区别：制造空包装与灌装/进口包装）
2. 材料分类：所有包装材料按欧盟编码进行分类；塑料则按COREPLA类别进行分类。
3. 向CONAI注册并缴纳费用
4. 获取CONAI会员编号，并将其标注在商业单据和市场平台账户上。
5. 在所有包装上附上环境标签：材料代码 + 意大利语的处置说明。

3. 选项B – EPR服务提供商：由服务提供商代表外国公司办理注册、申报和缴费。
4. 记录所有发往意大利的包装量——包括运输纸箱、填充材料和服务包装。
5. 确保面向意大利市场的所有B2C包装上附有意大利语的环境标签。
6. 按计划申报数量，并按时缴纳CAC费用。（也可译为：按照时间表报告包装用量，并按时支付CAC环境贡献费。）
7. 在Amazon.it和其他平台注册CONAI会员编号。
1. 强制要求：在意大利指定授权代表 –
2. 通过授权代表完成(b)项下列出的所有步骤。
3. 海关/物流：确保将运输包装（电商）纳入数量申报中。
