Last updated 29 June 2026 · Provider facts from public websites (May–June 2026) and our open market benchmark · Verify current offers on each provider's own site
If you are choosing a French EPR authorized representative (mandataire REP), this page compares the named providers on the facts that are actually verifiable: who is France-established, who publishes pricing, and which streams each covers. We are one of the providers listed, and we say so plainly. We do not make negative claims about competitors we cannot substantiate, where a fact is unverifiable, the table says so.
The comparison table
Sorted with us first for transparency, then grouped loosely by archetype. “Published pricing” is a simple verifiable yes/no: does the provider show a price on its own website?
| Provider | Origin | France-established | Published pricing | Streams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPR Representative (us) | France (Paris) | Yes | Yes | All 10+ streams |
| RM Boulanger | France | Yes | No | Multiple (packaging, WEEE…) |
| FLEX Logistique | France | Yes | No | Multiple |
| ECP Group | Europe (multi-country) | Via group entities | No | Packaging + multi-country EPR |
| Eldris | UK / EU | Via partner | Yes | Packaging, WEEE, batteries… |
| Lovat Compliance | Estonia / UK | Via partner | Yes | Packaging, WEEE, batteries (per category) |
| Lizenzero (Reclay) | Germany / EU | Via group | Partial | Packaging-led, multi-country |
| take-e-way / Landbell Group | Germany | Via partner | No | Multi-stream, multi-country |
| Interzero | Germany / EU | Via partner | No | Multi-stream, multi-country |
| Amazon France Pay-on-Behalf | Marketplace service | N/A (payment service) | Yes | Eco-contribution payment only |

Provider notes, fairly
Each provider has a legitimate use case. Here is what each is genuinely good at, stated without spin.
Published volume-tier pricing, post-EcoDDS civil mandate, named author, marketplace recovery SLAs.
Long-standing French fiscal & EPR representation house; established relationships with eco-organisms.
French logistics provider offering EPR representation alongside fulfilment services.
Pan-European packaging compliance group; convenient for multi-country packaging footprints.
Marketplace-seller-focused, publishes flat pricing (≈£995 setup, ≈£195/mo as of 2026).
VAT + EPR SaaS platform; low published per-category pricing (≈€190–€250/yr), useful if you already use their VAT service.
Self-serve EU packaging registration; publishes an entry "smart" tier (≈€299/yr), premium tiers on quote.
Deep EPR specialism, especially strong in DE/AT; broad EU coverage; enterprise-oriented.
Large circular-economy group; strong for enterprise procurement and multi-country programmes.
Flat €25/category/year, no markup since Jan 2026. Pays eco-contributions but does NOT make you a registered producer (no IDU).
Where to find the official lists
You do not have to take any provider's word, including ours. French EPR is a public-register system, and the eco-organisms and ADEME publish the source data:
- ADEME SYDEREP register. The national registry of producers and their unique identifiers (IDU). A producer's entry shows the streams and eco-organisms it is enrolled with, the authoritative way to confirm a registration is real. See our IDU & ADEME explainer.
- Eco-organism producer and member lists. Accredited eco-organisms, Citeo, Refashion, Ecosystem, Ecologic, Ecomaison, Valobat, Screlec and others, publish lists of registered contributors and, in some cases, partner or agreed representatives. The full set is on our eco-organisms hub.
- Marketplace verification. Amazon France, Cdiscount and ManoMano query SYDEREP to verify a seller's IDU. If your listing is accepted on the basis of a representative's registration, that registration is on the public register.
Use these to confirm any shortlisted provider actually holds, or can obtain, a registration for the exact stream you sell into.
How to choose, in one minute
- France only? A France-established specialist usually gives faster IDU and better marketplace recovery.
- Many EU countries? A pan-European group adds coordination convenience (the underlying legal architecture is still per-country).
- Budget certainty matters? Prefer a provider that publishes pricing, so you can model the recurring cost.
- One stream, very small volume, Amazon-only? Amazon Pay-on-Behalf may be cheapest, but remember it is a payment service, not a registration.
For the full nine-criteria checklist (post-EcoDDS contract, content depth, named author, Member-State scope), read the companion buyer's guide to comparing providers.
Where we fit on this map
We are a France-established specialist with three deliberate choices that are easy to verify: (1) full per-stream published pricing, three tiers per stream plus Enterprise; (2) a post-EcoDDS civil mandate with no subrogation; (3) all 10+ streams under one engagement, with a named author, Leo Escourrou, behind the content. We act as your representative in France only; for other EU Member States a separate representative established in each country is required.
The fastest way to see how we compare for your case is to run your current quote through our checker or forward a competing quote to us, we will read it and return a comparable offer on published pricing within one business day. If a competitor's offer is genuinely better for your case, we will say so.
Methodology & disclosure
- Sources. Provider public websites (May–June 2026) and our CC BY 4.0 market benchmark.
- Verifiable facts only. “Published pricing” and “origin” are checkable on each site. We do not assert competitor legal-compliance failings we cannot substantiate.
- Disclosure. We are one of the listed providers and have a commercial interest. We mitigate this by listing ourselves transparently, citing only verifiable facts, and pointing you to the official registers to check everything yourself.
- Corrections. If you represent a provider and a fact here is out of date, tell us and we will update it.
Frequently asked questions
Who are the main French EPR authorized representatives in 2026?
The market has four archetypes: France-established specialists (e.g. RM Boulanger, FLEX Logistique, and us), pan-European packaging/EPR groups (ECP Group, Lizenzero/Reclay, take-e-way/Landbell, Interzero), VAT-led platforms that add EPR (Lovat, and similar), and marketplace-native services (Amazon France Pay-on-Behalf). Only a France-established representative on the ADEME SYDEREP register satisfies the mandataire requirement; the marketplace payment service does not.
Where can I find the official list of French EPR representatives?
Two authoritative sources. (1) ADEME publishes the SYDEREP national register of producers and their unique identifiers (IDU); a producer's registration shows the eco-organisms it is enrolled with. (2) Each accredited eco-organism (Citeo, Refashion, Ecosystem, Ecologic, Ecomaison, Valobat, Screlec…) publishes lists of registered producers/contributors, and some publish lists of agréés or partner representatives. These official lists are the best way to confirm that any provider, including us, is genuinely registered for the stream you need.
How should I compare French EPR representatives?
On verifiable facts, not marketing claims. Five filter cleanly: (1) France establishment for the mandataire role, required since the Conseil d'État EcoDDS ruling of 10 November 2023; (2) published or transparent pricing; (3) coverage of every EPR stream you need; (4) a post-EcoDDS civil-mandate contract; (5) a documented marketplace-recovery process. Our companion guide walks through all nine criteria.
Is the cheapest French EPR representative the best choice?
Not necessarily. The lowest headline fee can hide per-SKU surcharges, second-year escalation, or a markup on the eco-contribution. Compare the representative fee separately from the eco-organism membership and the eco-contribution, and read the renewal terms. Our free quote-check tool isolates the representative fee and benchmarks it for you.
Can I switch French EPR representative without losing my IDU?
Yes. The IDU belongs to you, the producer, not to your representative. Switching means signing a new mandate and notifying each eco-organism of the change of representative; the SYDEREP record updates with no loss of IDU and no marketplace disruption. The transition typically takes 2–4 weeks.
