From Germany to France.
One partnership, one French leg covered.
German EPR providers run the largest single-Member-State packaging compliance market in Europe (LUCID currently records 700,000+ registered packaging brand owners). For your clients shipping cross-border to France, German registration covers neither French packaging nor any of the other French streams. We become your France leg without you opening a French entity, hiring French staff, or learning Citeo, Refashion, Ecosystem, Ecomaison and the rest of the French eco-organism ecosystem from scratch.
Three or four reasons French EPR ends up on your roadmap.
Questions Germany-based firms ask us.
We operate VerpackG and ElektroG in Germany. Can our existing client portfolio be onboarded to France in batch?
Yes. For 20+ clients we use a batch onboarding workflow: you share a CSV (legal name, country of incorporation, France-relevant streams, sales channels), we pre-quote per client, and mandates are signed in a rolling sequence. Email and shared folder workflow; no integration required. If volume eventually justifies a programmatic track we revisit, but we deliberately keep things simple to start.
How does the German LUCID registration relate to the French SYDEREP IDU?
They are independent registries on independent legal bases. LUCID covers German packaging EPR; SYDEREP covers all French EPR streams. A client registered in LUCID is not registered in SYDEREP, separate filings, separate IDs. Marketplaces (Amazon DE vs Amazon FR) check the relevant national registry, not a shared EU one. Until the PPWR central registry concept is operational, plan on national filings.
PPWR Article 45, how does it affect our German clients shipping to France?
Since 12 August 2026, the EU-wide representative requirement under PPWR Article 45 applies. Your German clients shipping packaged goods to France need a France-established representative for their packaging EPR. For every stream, including WEEE, batteries and textile, Article L. 541-10-9-1 has required a France-established representative since 10 July 2026, independently of PPWR. We cover both layers.
Can we co-brand a "DE + FR" service offering for enterprise pursuits?
Yes, on a case-by-case basis for specific named enterprise pursuits. Co-signed written proposals, with you as the German contact and us as the French delivery partner. For mid-market US D2C operators or upper-mid-market enterprises launching DE + FR in parallel, this typically wins over single-Member-State competitors. For everyday volume the plain referral track is the right model.

One form, one written reply within a business day. Léo responds personally with the partner terms, partnership letter template and NDA. Partner terms: a referral fee, calculated on the setup fee we collect, for every stream opened for a producer you introduce, including streams added later. The annual fee is never shared. Paid on your invoice once we have collected. Each producer signs its own mandate with us.
