The National Packaging Consortium (CONAI), with the aim of supporting and promoting the use of more recyclable packaging, has defined three different categories of plastic packaging, based on their level of environmental impact in the end of/new life phases.
As stated by the CONAI President, Giorgio Quagliuolo, “The new environmental contribution wants to reward the commitment of companies in the design and use of packaging best conceived for the purposes of environmental sustainability and the circular economy”. Furthermore, the tax will be calculated according to some fundamental criteria established in 2015, namely:

To determine the different parameters relating to the three categories, CONAI decided to use an LCA approach (Life Cycle Assessment), which was reviewed by a third-party body, in charge of assessing the environmental impacts of end of/new life phases.
Although the provision represents an important step forward in the direction of “green” bags and packaging, Plastisac has been working to increase the recyclability of its products, showing particular sensitivity towards this subject and becoming one of the more virtuous corporate realities in this sector.
