Requirements
For the creation of sets:
Option 1:
To use only EU Ecolabel certified paints or other type I certified paints (ISO 14024)
Option 2:
To use only FSC and/or PEFC certified timber
Option 3:
A total of 3 points is assigned if both criteria are met.

Observations and suggestions
The use of local suppliers is recommended, as well as paying particular attention to the procedures for the disposal of materials, especially paints and their containers.

Verification procedure
Document verification. Produce originals or copies of the following:

• a summary table of the supplies used to make the sets;
• the related invoices;
• the corresponding environmental certifications, among those required.

On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification is to check the existence on-set of the settings specifically made with the certified materials (certified timber and/or paints).

Requirements
For settings, props and costumes, to use materials derived from re-use or recycled materials, either by purchase, hire or by entering into an agreement with companies and associations for their supply.

Observations and suggestions
Recycling and reuse are cornerstones of environmental sustainability. The use of recycled or reused set materials, props or costumes can guarantee both ecological and economic savings. Compliance with the criterion does not depend on the quantity or the percentage of the recycled or reused set materials, props or costumes over the total amount of materials used by the Audiovisual Work. However, it is necessary to comply with the requirement for each of the three types of prop materials considered (settings, props and costumes).

Verification procedure
Document verification. Produce the original or copies of the following:

• the invoices and/or contracts and/or transport documents and/or written agreements showing the use of recycled or reused scenery materials, props and costumes;
• in the case of recycled materials, proof of the recycled components (technical data sheets or similar);
• in the case of reused materials, evidence of previous use.

On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification is to check the existence on-set of the settings specifically made with reused materials.

Requirements
At the end of a shoot, to make available for other activities the reusable props and/or set constructions made specifically for the Audiovisual Work. These materials may either remain at the disposal of the production, and be appropriately stored, or be made available to a third party by entering into an agreement with them regarding their transfer for subsequent re-use.

Observations and suggestions
At the end of a shoot, it will be necessary to decide what to do with materials that are still in good condition, favouring the ‘virtuous cycle’ of reuse and preventing them from becoming waste.
To meet this criterion, only scenery materials purchased or made specifically by the production to create a set (and therefore not the hiring of costumes or vehicles, for example) should be considered. Compliance with the criterion does not depend on the quantity or the percentage of the scenery materials transferred along the supply chain of reused materials over the total amount of materials used by the production.
The Verifying Body may award up to a maximum of 3 points on the basis of:

• the quantity intended for donation or reuse in relation to the total amount of materials used;
• type of beneficiary subject, favouring charities, social cooperatives or local social initiatives.

Verification procedure
Document verification. Produce the originals or copies of the following:

• a statement signed by the Producer or the Line Producer stating the commitment to store and reuse the props and/or set constructions;
• invoices and/or transport documents and/or receipts countersigned by the recipient attesting to the transfer of reusable props and/or set constructions to parties that guarantee their reuse (should the pick- up not have occurred yet, produce a statement signed by the party in charge of the pick-up stating its commitment to the pick-up and the list of materials to be picked up).

On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to check the truthfulness of the declarations made, through the direct acquisition of information and data.

Requirements
To reduce paper-based communication to a minimum: for internal communications concerning call sheets, journeys to be made with motorised vehicles and any other useful information to be communicated to the crew members, to resort to electronic communication as much as possible.

Observations and suggestions
In other cases where paper-based communication is indispensable, to use EU Ecolabel-certified paper or other type I labelling (ISO 14024).

Verification procedure
Document verification. Produce of a digital sample of the internal communications disseminated by telematic means and a statement signed by the Producer or the Line Producer of exclusive use of the telematic communication whenever possible.
On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification conducted by the Verifying Body is to ensure the absence of non-indispensable printed paper communications.

Requirements
For the make-up and hairstyling department, to use only EU Ecolabel-certified products or other type I labelling (ISO 14024); or certified to contain at least 95% ingredients from organic farming (EU Regulation 2018/848, as amended or similar international standard).

Observations and suggestions
Cosmetic products are soaps, shampoos, conditioners, shaving creams as well as non-rinse-off products, including creams, oils, hairdressing products, make- up.
For the purpose of this criterion, only cosmetic products for which there is a type 1 environmental label certification (EU Ecolabel or similar) are to be considered for environmental certification.

Verification procedure
Document verification.
Produce originals or copies of the following:

• a summary table of the supplies of cosmetic products;
• the related invoices;
• the corresponding environmental certifications, among those required.

On-set verification. The purpose of the on-set verification is to check for the absence of products not compliant with the requirement.
