Italy uses a comprehensive separation system with regional variations. COREPLA's key rule: 'plastic packaging yes, plastic objects no.' Collection methods vary by Comune (municipality).
Collection Streams
Important Notes
- —
COREPLA's key rule: 'plastic packaging yes, plastic objects no.'—only packaging goes in the plastic stream.
- —
Regional variations exist—follow Comune rules for whether plastics are collected alone or in multi‑material with metals.
- —
Empty and clean requirements apply—'empty is enough': remove product residues; follow local rules on separation/compacting.
- —
Collection formats can vary by Comune—some use multi‑material heavy collections, others separate by material.
