RENTRI

RENTRI (National Electronic Register for Waste Traceability) is the acronym that identifies the new information system for waste traceability provided for by art. 188-bis of Legislative Decree no. 152/2006 as amended, which introduces a digital management model  for the fulfilment of the obligations already provided for by Legislative Decree no. 152/2006, such as the issuance of identification forms for the transport of waste (FIR) and the keeping of historical loading and unloading registers.

This system is divided into:

  1.                 a Personal Data section, including the data of the registered subjects and information relating to specific authorizations;
  2.                 a Traceability section, including environmental data relating to the obligations referred to in Articles 190 and 193 of Legislative Decree 152/2006 and data relating to the routes of means of transport, where applicable.

Anyone (even non-obliged parties) can register for RENTRI, independently and on a voluntary basis, starting from 15 December 2024, even in advance of the second or third bracket.

What's changing: the new forms and registers

As a result of the RENTRI, from 13 February 2025 the obligation to use the new models of the chronological register of loading and unloading and identification form for the transport of waste (FIR) came into force. Therefore, all companies, including companies not obliged to register with RENTRI and companies in the second or third bracket, from 13 February 2025 must use the new form and register models.

  • NEW WASTE IDENTIFICATION FORMS (FIR): they can be downloaded and endorsed through the use of the RENTRI platform starting from 13 February 2025 and can only be used starting from 13 February 2025.

From 13 February 2025, it is mandatory to use the new Form model, which can be downloaded through the management system or the RENTRI platform, to be digitally endorsed. It should be noted that, starting from the introduction of the new model, the old forms of the form, although stamped, can no longer be used by companies.

  • NEW LOADING AND UNLOADING REGISTERS: starting from 4 November 2024,  the new paper printing service of the chronological loading and unloading register format has been made available, to be endorsed at the Chambers of Commerce (C.C.I.A.A.). The service is accessible through the RENTRI portal and does not require any registration or registration. We remind you that, from 13 February 2025, all companies, whether registered with RENTRI or not, must use the new models.

Three scenarios are therefore presented:

At. companies that register with RENTRI by 13 February 2025, use the new register model in digital format, either directly on the RENTRI platform or through appropriate interoperable company management systems;

  1. companies that register with RENTRI in the other brackets indicated, from 13 February 2025 until the date of registration, must still use the new paper register form, endorsed at the relevant Chamber of Commerce;
  2. companies that do not register with RENTRI, but that use a register for waste traceability, from 13 February 2025 must use the new paper waste register model, endorsed at the relevant C.C.I.A.A.

Until 12 February 2025, the old models of registers and forms with the related usual management methods remain in force; From 13 February 2025, the old models of the register, even if stamped, can no longer be used.
