Since January 1, 2022, French& Germany have made it mandatory that all products sold to French& Germany must comply with the new packaging law. It means that all packaging must carry the Triman logo and recycling instructions in order to make it easier for consumers to understand how waste is sorted. Products and packaging bearing the Triman logo are collected in separate waste bins. Without the Triman logo, the product will be treated as usual.
What should I do with unlabeled packaging?
For now, the Triman logo is in a period of a transition:
The Triman sign will be launched officially on January 1, 2022;
The transition period from the old logo to the new Triman logo ends in September 2022;
In September 2023, the transitional period of the old logo products will end, and all packaging in France will have to carry the new logo.
