Prevention and eco-design plan support
Every producer subject to a French EPR category must have a prevention and eco-design plan, aimed at reducing the use of non-renewable resources, increasing the use of recycled materials and improving recyclability. The plan can be individual or common to several producers, and it is revised every five years.

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.
