Packaging rules in Italy

The EU-wide rules apply in Italy the same way they apply everywhere else — those are on the rules page. This page carries the ministry to start with.

Where to start in Italy

Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica (MASE) — Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, Direzione generale economia circolare e bonifiche (ECB), within the Dipartimento sviluppo sostenibile. Its Divisione III carries the statutory functions for the waste streams managed through consortia, packaging among them. MASE is also a market surveillance authority for packaging under Annex V to D.Lgs. 157/2022, which names Regulation (EU) 2025/40 among its reference legislation., Via Cristoforo Colombo 44, 00147 Roma, Italy — ecb-udg@mase.gov.it.

Italy has not told the European Commission who is responsible here. Every country was asked to do that by a deadline that has now passed, and the Commission publishes the ones it has been told about on its implementation page. The ministry above is the place to start.
