Established to do one thing well: act as a French EPR authorized representative for producers that sell into France without a French establishment.
A French house for a French problem.
The French Extended Producer Responsibility system covers more streams than any other country in Europe (packaging, electronics, textile, furniture, batteries, toys, sports, DIY, garden, paper, construction, professional packaging). It has its own eco-organisms, its own Identifiant Unique Producteur, its own AGEC law, and its own enforcement rhythm. We chose to specialise in it.
The mandate, written down.
A French EPR authorized representative is the legal interface between a producer without a French establishment and the French eco-organisms. A written mandate under Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the French Environmental Code, created by Law No. 2026-602 of 8 July 2026. Since 10 July 2026, any producer not established in France and subject to EPR must appoint a representative established in France, for every stream. For packaging, Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) adds the same requirement at EU level.
You remain the producer. Under the written mandate required by Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the French Environmental Code, we take charge of and answer for your registration, your identifier, your declarations, the exchanges with the eco-organisation and audits, and the archiving of your files. Your eco-contributions stay invoiced to you and paid by you directly to the eco-organisation. Producer status is not transferable and stays with you, as does the accuracy of the data you provide and any period before the mandate took effect. In practice: registration with each eco-organism, IDU via ADEME SYDEREP, periodic declarations, checks on the eco-contributions the eco-organisms set on their published barèmes, traceability, and answers to the eco-organisation’s requests and audits.
We keep the contract simple, the price flat, and the scope written down. That is the entire offer.
France only
We are mandataire REP in France only. We sign the French mandate, file dossiers with French eco-organisms, obtain the IDU on SYDEREP, and file French declarations. We do not sign mandates, file dossiers, or handle declarations in any other Member State. For other EU Member States, a separate authorized representative established in each country is required; that is outside our scope and the producer arranges it separately.
A price fixed in writing
A public entry price (from €190/year excl. VAT per stream) and a fixed annual fee per stream, confirmed in a written quote within one business day. It depends on the declaration regime and frequency, the number of references and, above EUR 1,000 of eco-contribution per stream, its size, and is fixed in writing for the calendar year. No per-tonne mark-ups, no opaque eco-organism rebates.
A mandate written for the 2026 regime
We do not pretend to be the producer. The mandate is written under Article L. 541-10-9-1 and states its scope, its duration (the calendar year, renewed tacitly) and the refundable security deposit.
