Do ecommerce shipping boxes and filler count?

They commonly fall within the household-packaging review when they are used for products supplied to French consumers. We confirm the packaging, destination and liable entity before registration.

Does this page cover all professional packaging?

No. Professional packaging has a distinct legal perimeter. The announced broader rollout was postponed, so we assess the current rules instead of assuming every business-to-business package is already in scope.

How quickly will I receive the UIN/IDU?

Léko states that an identifier can be issued within days after a compliant onboarding, but timing depends on the complete file, contract and eco-organism processing. We do not guarantee a marketplace or authority deadline.

French EPR registration for household packaging and paper

Register household packaging and graphic paper in France through our Léko service. We review your scope, prepare onboarding, collect and verify the UIN/IDU, and organise the declaration evidence. Other packaging schemes and the wider professional-packaging perimeter are outside this service.

A producer not established in France that is subject to French EPR must generally appoint a mandataire established in France.

How we help

We confirm the household-packaging and graphic-paper perimeter, identify the producer entity, complete the Léko onboarding route we provide, obtain and verify the UIN/IDU, and set up the declaration evidence. This service does not include registration with other packaging schemes, and we do not treat the postponed wider professional-packaging rollout as already operative.

France's household-packaging and graphic-paper EPR stream covers household packaging around products, including relevant ecommerce shipping materials, and qualifying printed or printable paper. Product scope and the liable producer must be checked separately. Professional packaging follows a different perimeter and is not automatically covered by this service.

Household-packaging and graphic-paper scope review
Producer-entity and market-placement review
Léko registration and contract support
UIN/IDU collection and entity matching

Example: a foreign seller adds a parcel box and paper insert

The retail packaging, parcel box, filler and qualifying paper insert are mapped to the household-packaging and graphic-paper stream. The producer analysis then determines which entity must register and which quantities belong in the Léko declaration.
