What is RENTRi?
The RENTRi came into force on 15 June 2023 with Ministerial Decree no. 59 of 4 April 2023 , bringing significant changes for organisations and companies involved in waste production and management.
It is an electronic registry, managed directly by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, for the traceability of waste produced and disposed of in Italy. It allows for the monitoring of environmental data, making it accessible not only for supervisory and control activities, but also for environmental policies. Let's explore it in more detail.
RENTRi and Interzero
Interzero supports RENTRi operating companies by offering solutions to address concerns and issues, ensuring the continuity of all operations under the current model.
Every company will have to face the new challenges of entering a new phase of waste management traceability:
- New digital ways of using traceability documentation;
- Mandatory adoption of the new models for the C/S Register and Form;
- Transitional running-in period with gradual removal of paper documentation;
- Traceable computer corrections;
- Control of movement timing and recordings;
- Advanced task management.
Entering this new phase will bring benefits to all obligated operators and those who join on a voluntary basis, thus allowing a general evolution of the system.
Strengths
Homogeneity and usability of all data
Reduction of administrative and bureaucratic burdens
Circular availability of information
Specifically, RENTRi will introduce with a systematic approach:
- the digitalization of environmental compliance;
- the availability of a constant flow of data to support environmental and planning policies;
- the prevention and fight against illegal waste management;
- monitoring of European recovery and recycling targets;
- reducing reporting times.
What changes with RENTRi
RENTRi brings about important changes to environmental compliance. Let's briefly examine the main aspects:
Decree 4 April 2023 n. 59
- defines the new FIR model which comes into force on 13 February 2025 for all operators;
- provides, from the same date, the obligation of digital authentication (for both paper and digital FIRs);
- sets February 13, 2026 as the deadline from which RENTRI members must manage the FIR in digital format and establishes, from the same date, the obligation to transmit FIR data for hazardous waste to RENTRI;
- In the case of a digital FIR, it places the recipient’s obligation to transmit the countersigned and dated form to all parties involved in the movement.
Decree 4 April 2023 n. 59
- defines the new models (to be filled out according to the instructions contained in Directorial Decree no. 251/2023);
- establishes the obligation to authenticate and digitally maintain loading and unloading registers starting from registration.
Who needs to take action and when?
The following individuals are required to register with RENTRi by registering on the online platform:
- the bodies and companies that deal with waste treatment;
- producers of hazardous waste*;
- entities and companies that collect or transport hazardous waste on a professional level or that operate as traders and intermediaries of hazardous waste;
- the Consortia established for the recovery and recycling of particular types of waste;
- the entities referred to in Article 189, paragraph 3, of Legislative Decree no. 152 of 2006, with reference to non-hazardous waste.
* For example, hazardous waste includes: monitors, batteries, lamps.
The following are excluded:
- Institutions and companies with up to 10 employees, initial producers of only non-hazardous waste (generated by industrial/artisanal processes and deriving from the processing of sludge from drinking water purification and water purification treatments);
- Institutions, companies, and individuals not included in organizations of institutions or companies, regardless of the number of employees, who are initial producers of only non-hazardous waste.
The legislation provides for different deadlines depending on the type of business carried out and the number of employees . Three groups have therefore been identified:
- from 12/15/2024 to 02/13/2025: companies or entities that initially produce hazardous and non-hazardous special waste with more than 50 employees;
- from 06/15/2025 to 08/14/2025: companies or entities producing initial hazardous and non-hazardous special waste with a number of employees between 11 and 50;
- From 12/15/2025 to 02/13/2026: all remaining initial producers of only hazardous special waste with fewer than 11 employees.
