  WASTE MANAGEMENT AND EXPLOITATION - Convegno

  The state of environmental product certification in Europe and Italy

  By: ERVET (Emilia-Romagna Financial Territorial Development), SSSUP (Sant´Anna School of Advanced Studies), Cartesio Network
  
  Environmental product certification has grown in importance in recent years and is a central element in corporate marketing strategies that focus on eco-innovation. The European Commission, with Recommendation 2013/179/EC, has defined PEF . Product Environmental Footprint . as the reference methodology. Shifting the focus to Italy, the National Voluntary Environmental Footprint Assessment and Communication Scheme, introduced by law 221/2015 "Environmental provisions to promote measures for the green economy and limiting the excessive use of natural resources" and based precisely on the PEF method, is of particular importance. The aim of the conference is to discuss initiatives in progress at the European and Italian levels regarding environmental product and footprint marks. Particular attention will be paid to the outcomes of European pilot schemes for applying the PEF and the new Made Green in Italy national scheme. The conference will be an opportunity to develop these tools and opportunities for companies in terms of eco-innovation and competitiveness.
