UKFT and GINETEX outline the legal requirements for product labelling obligations plus changes to “sorting info” for 2022.

The French Triman logo means that a product is recyclable, collected separately and subject to extended producer responsibility.

Publication of the Decree on the Triman Signage and Sorting Information:

The implementing decree which sets the new rules for affixing the Triman signage along with sorting instructions for textile products marketed in France was published on June 30, 2021. It provides details on Article 17 of the law against wastage and for circular economy (French Governmental AGEC law) and on compliance deadlines.

According to article 17 of the AGEC law in force in France, the Triman signage (which is compulsory on all textile household products that are placed on the market and that are subject to extended producer responsibility) must also mention ‘’sorting info”, from January 1, 2022.

Decree No. 2021-835 dated June 29th, 2021 (also called the “Triman decree”) on consumer information on how to sort waste from products that fall under extended producer responsibility, was published in the official journal on June 30, 2021. The decree specifies the application and implementation conditions of this new requirement.
