Screws and bolts Made in Italy to avoid CBAM risk

The CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is the new measure introduced by the European Union to prevent the relocation of CO₂ emissions beyond EU borders.

It is a key component of the European Green Deal and the “Fit for 55” package, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and reach climate neutrality by 2050.

Currently in a transitional phase until 31 December 2025, the CBAM directly affects our sector: those importing screws, bolts and metal components from outside Europe will have to deal with new regulations, documentation requirements, and – from 2026 – an additional cost linked to the carbon emissions associated with those products.

CBAM – The real challenge for SMEs

Oltre all’impatto economico, la vera criticità per molte aziende sarà la gestione operativa e burocratica: raccolta dei dati, metodologie di calcolo delle emissioni, rispetto dei protocolli europei e rispetto delle scadenze.

Un onere particolarmente gravoso per le aziende medio-piccole, che potrebbero non disporre di strutture interne dedicate alla compliance ambientale.
