# Packaging and Recycling Requirements

Certain countries within the EU (Italy and Spain) have introduced specific requirements for disclosing packaging materials and recycling information, which must be reflected in your E-Label.

###### Italy
It is required in Italy to indicate the material identification code on your packaging and provide the waste collection guideline according to [Decreto legislativo 3 aprile 2006, n. 152](https://www.bosettiegatti.eu/info/norme/statali/2006_0152.htm).

###### Spain
It is required in Spain to include recycling pictograms on your packaging according to [Real Decreto 1055/2022](https://www.aecoc.es/articulos/pictogramas-para-envases-y-nuevo-marcado-real-decreto-1055-2022/). These pictograms must clearly indicate the correct waste container (plastic, glass, paper), be visible and durable, and follow the official color and design standards.
