Businesses selling products in Italy may be subject to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements. Depending on your products and business model, you may need to comply with Italian requirements covering Packaging, WEEE (electrical and electronic equipment), Batteries and other regulated product categories.

These requirements can also affect Amazon sellers, e-commerce businesses, manufacturers, importers and overseas companies selling products to customers in Italy. FZCO Accountants Limited provides professional support with Italy EPR registration, filing and ongoing compliance.

What Is EPR in Italy?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requires producers and other responsible businesses to contribute to the environmental management of products and packaging they place on the market. For many ecommerce businesses selling in Italy, the three key areas are:

  • Packaging EPR
  • WEEE EPR
  • Battery EPR

A business may have obligations under more than one category. For example, selling an electronic product containing a battery and packaged for delivery could potentially involve Packaging, WEEE and Battery requirements.

Italy Packaging EPR & CONAI Registration

Packaging compliance in Italy is closely connected with CONAI (Consorzio Nazionale Imballaggi). Depending on the business model and how products are introduced into Italy, producers, importers and other businesses may have obligations concerning CONAI registration, packaging declarations and environmental contributions.

Packaging materials can include:

Plastic • Paper & Cardboard • Glass • Aluminium • Steel • Wood • Bioplastic

CONAI’s Environmental Contribution (CAC) helps finance the collection, recycling and recovery of packaging waste. The applicable contribution can depend on the packaging material and quantity.

Italy WEEE EPR Registration

Businesses placing electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) on the Italian market should assess whether they have registration and ongoing compliance obligations under Italy’s WEEE framework.

This can apply to businesses selling electronics, appliances, IT equipment, electronic accessories, lighting, electrical tools and other qualifying electrical products.

Foreign and e-commerce sellers should determine their obligations based on their establishment, products and method of selling into Italy.

Italy Battery EPR Registration

Companies placing batteries, accumulators or certain products containing batteries on the Italian market should also assess their Battery EPR obligations. Importantly, Battery EPR and WEEE EPR are separate compliance areas. A business selling electrical products containing batteries may therefore need to consider both, alongside Packaging EPR.

Italy EPR for Amazon & Ecommerce Sellers

Selling through Amazon or another online marketplace does not automatically remove your EPR responsibilities. If you sell packaged products, electrical equipment, batteries or battery-containing products to customers in Italy, you should determine which EPR requirements apply to your business. This is particularly important for cross-border sellers operating across several European countries because EPR requirements and registrations can differ from country to country.

Italy EPR Filing & Ongoing Compliance

EPR compliance does not necessarily end after registration.

Depending on the relevant category and compliance scheme, ongoing obligations may include Periodic declarations • quantity reporting • environmental contributions • record keeping • annual reporting • registration updates

Businesses should therefore maintain accurate product and packaging data to support their ongoing Italy EPR filing and compliance.
