Italy guide · source reviewed 14 Aug 2026

Everything we hold on Italy,

and where we read it.

The register, the schemes and the legal texts behind every figure we publish for Italy — with the gaps left in plain sight. The long-form guidance lives on epritalia.com, which we run too; this page says what stands behind it.

What we hold

The register is public. The scheme is private. They are not the same thing.

Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica (MASE) oversees national registration. CONAI handles packaging membership and contributions. We prepare each file and keep every stream in the same dashboard as your other countries. A register and a scheme remain separate: the public side records the producer, while the private side bills the contribution. Completing one does not complete the other.

RENAP exposes WEEE, batteries and tyres. The packaging register is not operational yet, which is why packaging runs through CONAI rather than the national register.

  • Packaging

    Register
    Not the national register for this stream
    Scheme
    CONAI

    You stay a CONAI member and the CAC debtor in your own name. We prepare and submit the membership and the declarations; we do not stand in your place.

  • WEEE

    Register
    RENAP
    Scheme
    Depends on your product category

    RENAP exposes WEEE directly. The collective scheme depends on your product category.

  • Batteries

    Scheme
    Depends on your product category

    Anything with a cell counts, including a battery sealed inside a device.

  1. ≤ €200

    Threshold

    It is conditional, and whether the condition is met in your case is one of the things the review checks.

  2. €300

    Threshold

    A distinct threshold from the one above. Our sources attach it to import procedures, not to the packaging exemption.

  3. 10 tonnes

    Threshold

    The point at which the statistical packaging declaration comes in. It is a declaration threshold, not a registration one.

Legal basis

The texts we read. Named, so you can read them too.

These are the references the authority and the schemes cite. We do not paraphrase them into a summary and call it guidance — we name them, and we say the day we last read them.

  • PPWR · Regulation (EU) 2025/40, applicable since 12 August 2026

What we don't hold

The gaps, named. “We have no source” is not “you owe nothing”.

A seller who reads a blank as “nothing to do here” does not register, and finds out when a listing comes down. So every blank on this page is written out, with what it does and does not mean.

  • Textiles

    No register and no scheme documented for this stream in Italy. That is a gap in our sources, not a statement that you owe nothing — the two are different, and only a person closes the distance.

  • Declaration deadline

    Our sources for Italy do not publish one. We would rather leave this blank than print a date you might plan around.

  • Indicative time to file

    We have not measured one for Italy, and an invented figure is the fastest way to lose the one thing this page is for.

We publish a source ledger for all 10 countries we run. The other member states stay listed without a promised opening date. See all countries

The long version lives on epritalia.com.

We run that site, in the local language, and it carries the full guidance for Italy. This page is the ledger behind it — what we hold, where it comes from, and what is still blank. The canonical for the national detail points there, not here.

Italy is one row. Here's the rest of what you owe.

Every country you ship to runs its own register, its own scheme and its own calendar. Tell us yours and you'll get an indicative map of the lot, on screen, before anyone asks you for a card.

Free. No card. A person answers.

shippeu.com is an independent private service. It is not a government office, an authority, a register or a collective scheme, and it is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by MASE, CONAI, Consorzio ERP Italia. Each authority and each scheme decides independently whether and when to accept an application.

Figures on this page come from published guidance. Last source review: 14 August 2026. Rules change — the scope check is reviewed by a person before any quote.
