DASTRI authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
DASTRI is the sole approved French eco-organism for self-care perforating medical waste (DASRI): the needles, lancets and syringes used by patients treating themselves at home. It operates under the cahier des charges set by the arrêté of 2 November 2022.
DASTRI distributes free sharps containers through pharmacies and organises their collection and destruction so that used needles do not end up in household waste. Producers of self-treatment devices and their associated medicines adhere, declare the perforating products they place on the French market, and pay an eco-contribution funding the scheme.
Any company placing self-care perforating medical devices, or medicines used with such devices, on the French market, whether established in France, elsewhere in the EU, or outside the EU: insulin pens and needles, lancets, pre-filled syringes and comparable products. The trigger is the first placement on the French market, not the seller location.
- A US medical-device brand selling insulin pen needles into France
- An EU diagnostics company shipping lancets to French pharmacies
- A UK manufacturer of pre-filled syringes supplying the French market
What we do for the DASTRI stream specifically.
We act as your French authorized representative under Article 8a §5 of Directive 2008/98/EC for the medical-sharps (DASRI) stream. We sign the DASTRI adherence on your behalf, obtain your IDU through ADEME SYDEREP, file the declarations; the eco-contribution itself is set by the eco-organism on its published schedule, and we take no percentage on it. Producer status stays with you; the obligations covered by the mandate are carried by us.
