FR: Guideline for mandatory recycling mark Triman updated
In December 2014 the French government legalised the recycling mark "Triman". As of 1 January 2015, all products covered under a French extended producer responsibility (EPR) agreement, including packaging with the exception of household glass containers, have to display the Triman.
The mark can be placed on the product, the packaging, the instruction leaflet or on the website. This is quite confusing if packaging contains a product that is not part of an ERP agreement. To tackle the problems L’ADEME published guidelines in French and in English. These guidelines have now been updated and the new versions were published in March 2016. The guidelines contain examples on how to use the symbol.
