EPR authorised representation in France
French EPR rules require producers placing in-scope products on the French market to register, declare and contribute to the right eco-organism. Since 10 July 2026, a business not established in France that is subject to French EPR must appoint an authorised representative established in France, by written mandate. The obligation is assessed product by product: it counts as met for products where a France-established online interface operator already assumes the EPR obligations.
- EPR scope review by product category
- Authorised representation mandate
- Registration with the relevant eco-organisms
Select a plan
- From €99 per category / year, packaging from €59
- Representation, registration, UIN and declarations billed once per category
One annual service fee applies per EPR category and covers representation where required, registration and UIN/IDU administration, and the ongoing declaration service described for that category. Household packaging and paper uses the separate packaging price. Prices exclude VAT, eco-contributions and exceptional work outside the stated scope.

How we help
We review the producer and product streams, define the obligations accepted in the written mandate, and coordinate the supported registrations and declarations. Our named ecommerce routes are Léko for household packaging and graphic paper, Ecologic for EEE, Batribox for batteries and Refashion for TLC. Other streams require a separate scope review before acceptance.
