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.

Select a plan

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.

A controlled path from review to evidence

  1. Establish the baseline

    Document the current products, packaging and existing prevention work.

  2. Select measurable actions

    Define realistic reduction, reuse, recyclability or material-substitution measures.

  3. Draft and validate the plan

    Assign evidence, owners and dates to each commitment before submission.

  4. Retain progress evidence

    Keep decisions and implementation records available for the next review.

Documents and source data

  • Current product and packaging portfolio
  • Material, weight and recyclability information
  • Existing prevention or redesign actions
  • Targets, owners and implementation dates
  • Earlier plan and progress evidence, if any

Example: reducing parcel packaging without creating damage

The plan can compare current filler and box formats with a measured reduction target, while preserving product-protection requirements and recording how progress will be evidenced.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most about this service. If yours is not here, ask us.

The obligation applies to every producer subject to a French EPR category, with no turnover or volume threshold. What varies is how it is met: in some filières the eco-organism draws up a plan common to its members, in others each producer files its own. We confirm which applies to you.
