France Triman sorting legislation

/ Posts / By Gasper

Article 17 of the French AGEC Law and its implementing decree (no. 2021-835 of 29 June 2021) established the legal basis for consumer information regarding the sorting label.
This guide provides the information you need to add to your household packaging (including cosmetics) according to the new mandatory harmonized sorting label.

This harmonized label providing sorting instructions (Sorting Info) is mandatory from 1 January 2022.

Sorting info will need to be accompanied by:
1. The Triman sorting logo, whether the packaging is recyclable or not.
2. The text/image block or without the strapline.
3. The packaging components
– Text + pictogram
– Text only
– Pictogram only
4. The target stream
– Text + pictogram
– Pictogram only

 

Composition of the Triman Logo from 2022, (c) CITEO

All previous marking (standard or customized) will no longer be permitted from 9 March 2023.

The legislation mentions a few exceptions: glass beverage bottles and small packaging may be exempted or subject to slightly different labelling obligations.

The marking should appear on all household packaging, alongside the Triman logo, from 1.1.2022 onwards, with 9 March 2023 as the cut-off date.

Three key aspects were taken into consideration to create the new Sorting Info:

• Guaranteeing the regulatory compliance of the label (compliance with the requirements of the French AGEC Law),
• Ensuring the information is passed onto consumers effectively (easy to understand, useful and incentive-based),
• Making the label easy to implement (advice and wide choice of options).

The Triman logo is the symbol that informs the consumer that the product or packaging needs to be sorted or brought to a recycling point.
