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

How we help

We identify the in-scope streams, put in place the written mandate required for a liable producer not established in France, and prepare the supported registrations. The standard public routes use Léko for household packaging and graphic paper, Ecologic for EEE, Batribox for batteries and Refashion for TLC. Each ADEME UIN is matched to the producer entity and stream before the declaration calendar is set.

Producers placing in-scope products on the French market must register for the relevant EPR stream and obtain a Unique Identification Number (UIN, or Identifiant Unique). Marketplaces can request that stream-specific identifier as compliance evidence.

What's included

  • Product-stream assessment
  • Registration through the supported eco-organism routes
  • UIN obtained and tracked per stream
  • Marketplace-ready evidence pack
  • Declaration and account calendar set up
  • Accounts and documents archived in VAT EPR EXPERT FRANCE

A controlled path from review to evidence

  1. Classify the catalogue

    Identify every French EPR stream triggered by products, batteries, electrical functions and packaging.

  2. Register the producer

    Complete onboarding through the approved route for each applicable stream.

  3. Collect and validate UINs

    Match each identifier to the correct producer entity and stream.

  4. Set the declaration calendar

    Record the reporting periods, data fields and evidence needed after registration.

Documents and source data

  • Company and brand ownership details
  • French catalogue with product descriptions
  • Packaging formats and sales channels
  • Historic French quantities, where applicable
  • Existing UINs or scheme contracts

Example: an electronic toy with a battery

One SKU can create several obligations. We review the product classification, embedded battery and packaging separately, then register only the streams supported by the actual product facts.

Frequently asked questions

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

No. UINs are tied to EPR streams, so you may need several.

To see which identifiers a producer already holds, search the public ADEME register with our free UIN checker first.
