Refashion authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Refashion is the sole approved eco-organism for Textile, Household linen, and Footwear (TLC) in France, covering all apparel, home textiles, and shoes placed on the French market.
Refashion collects an eco-contribution per garment, per pair of shoes, per kilogram of household linen placed on the market. The funds finance second-hand sorting, fiber recycling, and consumer awareness campaigns. France was first in Europe to introduce textile EPR, in 2007.
Any company placing apparel, footwear, or household linen on the French market. Even a small Shopify brand shipping 100 t-shirts a year to French consumers must register, with no minimum threshold.
- A US streetwear brand on Shopify shipping to French consumers
- A Chinese fast-fashion seller listed on Amazon FR
- A UK luxury shoe brand with cross-border D2C orders into France
What we do for the Refashion stream specifically.
We act as your French Refashion representative, sign the adherence, declare your annual unit counts (the scheme is per unit, not per kg or tonne); the eco-contribution itself is set by the eco-organism on its published schedule, and we take no percentage on it. We handle the specific textile eco-modulation declarations (recycled content, durability claims).

Frequently asked questions
- Who has to join Refashion?
- Any producer placing products covered by Textile, household linen and footwear (TLC) on the French market, whatever the country it is established in, with no minimum volume. The producer is the first company placing the goods on that market: for a distance sale to a French consumer, that is the seller, not the carrier and not the marketplace.
- Can I join Refashion without a French company?
- Not directly. A producer with no establishment in France goes through a France-established mandataire, compulsory since 10 July 2026 under Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the Code de l'environnement. The representative signs the membership in the producer's name, then ADEME publishes the IDU within 2 to 3 weeks.
- What does Refashion membership cost?
- Two separate amounts. The membership fee runs from EUR 0 to 450 a year depending on the stream. The eco-contribution depends on what you place on the market and follows Refashion's published schedule. We take no percentage and no margin on either of them.
- What do I declare once I have joined?
- The volumes you placed on the market the previous year, in the unit that stream uses, on Refashion's own calendar. That declaration sets the eco-contribution you owe. A producer joining late regularises the earlier years in which it placed products on the market.
