National packaging recycling symbols
Several Countries, including France, Italy, and Spain, require cosmetic product labelling to display instructions for disposal and information on packaging materials. Many times, specific symbols (like the French Triman logo) must be used. Furthermore, some EU Member States set additional requirements for environmental claims.
Hence, to place their cosmetic products on the EU market, beauty brands must comply with these national packaging recycling requirements on top of the EU Cosmetics Regulation.
On COSlaw.eu, Obelis Information Platform on the EU Cosmetics Regulation, you can find an overview of environmental packaging requirements in France, Italy and Spain.
