Theca astucci respects the Council Directive 97/129/EC
Let's clarify the Directive 97/129/EC in effect on 2022, January 1st
The Member States of the European Community are addressed of Commission Decision 97/129/EC which establishes, in effect on 2022 January 1st, the introduction of an identification system for some specific types of packaging to describe the nature of the materials used.
[Article 1]
This Decision, which covers all packaging covered by Directive 94/62/EC aims to establish the numbering and abbreviations on which the identification system is based, indicating the nature of the packaging material(s) used and specifying which materials shall be subject to the identification system.
At Theca we consider a value and a point of pride to be always up to date and respectful of the regulations in force, for our protection but also to protect our customers.
For this reason, we are ready to place the mandatory codes on all our products affected by the European Decision and our customers will not risk incurring in any penalties because they will be able to uniquely identify the materials to be disposed of, according to the indications of the local council.
Herebelow you'll find the details of all the products expressly indicated by the European Directive and the related identification codes that will be shown on our products starting from January 1, 2022.
PAP20
Corrugated fibreboard boxes used for delivery are identified with the code PAP20.
Our packing boxes are made of solid corrugated fibreboard and have a compact and resistant structure that protects and guarantees the contents during transport until delivery.
PAP21
The code PAP21 identifies non-corrugated fibreboard boxes, with the exception of presentation boxes which are not considered as "packaging materials" but part and added value to the product.
This typology includes the containing boxes and the protective strips of the boxes as well as set boxes.
C/PAP81
The code C/PAP81 identifies the packaging made of aper and fibreboard miscellaneous plastic.
Therefore it includes for example all our gift bags made of coated paper and finalized with rope handles.
PE-LD04
The code PE-LD04 is applied to all plastic bags, transparent as well as opaque.
