Why non-EU sellers need a French EPR representative

Three reinforcing pressures push every non-EU seller to register quickly. For the broader regulatory map, see our EPR compliance complete guide.

📦

August 2026 PPWR deadline

From 12 August 2026, every non-EU producer of consumer packaging in France must appoint a French authorized representative, under PPWR Article 45.

Questions non-EU sellers ask

Who must designate an EPR authorized representative in France?

+

Any producer or seller not established in France that places products in scope of a French EPR stream on the French market. This includes US, UK, Chinese, Swiss and Turkish e-commerce brands selling direct-to-consumer to French customers, Amazon FBA sellers, dropshippers and TikTok Shop merchants.

How much does EPR compliance in France cost with EPR Representative?

+

Three published tiers per stream: Light from €49/month (small producers under the eco-organism simplified regime, e.g. Citeo <10,000 UVC, Refashion <5,000 pieces), Standard from €199/month (mid-market), Volume from €349/month (high-volume single-segment). Setup €290-€1,290 per stream depending on complexity. Multi-stream discount up to −20% from the 2nd stream. Enterprise on quote for multi-entity groups, >€2M CA France, or producers needing introductions to mandataires in other EU Member States (we are the France-established mandataire and we file French dossiers and French declarations only — for Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, UK we refer to vetted local partners; we do not file dossiers, sign mandates or handle declarations outside France). Run the 60-second calculator for your exact price. The figures exclude eco-contributions paid directly by the producer to each eco-organism.

Which EPR streams do you cover in France?

+

All ten main streams relevant to non-EU sellers: household packaging (Citeo, Léko, Adelphe), professional packaging (Citeo Pro), WEEE (Ecosystem, Ecologic), batteries (Ecosystem since the 2025 Corepile merger; Screlec for industrial/automotive), textile (Refashion), furniture (Ecomaison, Valdelia), toys (Ecomaison), sports and DIY (Ecomaison), graphic paper (Citeo, Léko), and construction PMCB (Valobat, Ecominéro).

Does the authorized representative take legal responsibility for my EPR obligations?

+

No. Following the French Conseil d Etat ruling of 10 November 2023 (case 449213, EcoDDS), the EPR authorized representative acts in the name and on behalf of the producer under the standard civil mandate of the French Civil Code (Articles 1984 et seq.), without subrogation. The producer remains the legally obligated party. We handle registration, IDU, declarations and ongoing administrative liaison.

I am already suspended on Amazon France. Can you help?

+

Yes. We prioritise suspended sellers. Proof of registration with the eco-organism, which marketplaces accept to lift the hold, is typically delivered within 48 to 72 hours of mandate signature. The formal IDU follows within 2 to 3 weeks.
