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 nine 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.

Why this matters for Germany firms

Three or four reasons French EPR ends up on your roadmap.

Cross-border DE → FR is the most common pattern in the EU
Among Amazon FBA-EU operators, France is the most common second-country market after Germany. Your clients already shipping in Germany increasingly hit France within 6-18 months of their first DE listing. French EPR is the typical day-21 blocker.
Article 45 lands in 2026, your portfolio needs France
PPWR Article 45 takes effect 12 August 2026. Your German packaging EPR clients shipping to France will need France-specific representation under that regime — and under the existing French AGEC law since 2022 for the non-packaging streams.
France has 10+ streams, not just packaging
Your German LUCID registration covers packaging only. France adds WEEE, textile, furniture, batteries, toys, sports/DIY, graphic paper, construction PMCB, and professional packaging — each with its own registration, declaration and contribution. We cover all of them.
You can not legally be the French mandataire
The Conseil d’État’s EcoDDS ruling (10 November 2023) confirmed the French mandataire must be France-established. A Berlin- or Munich-based firm cannot register clients on SYDEREP directly. We are the France-established mandataire on your behalf.
Country-specific FAQ

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. For 50+ clients the API track is faster — authenticated POST with status webhooks per mandate stage.

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?

From 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. If they also ship WEEE, batteries, textile, etc. — the French national obligation under AGEC already applies today, independently of PPWR. We cover both layers.

Can we co-brand a "DE + FR" service offering for enterprise pursuits?

Yes. The co-branded model is built for this. Joint landing page on either domain (or both), co-signed proposals, joint client calls with you as the German contact and us as the French delivery partner. For enterprise pursuits to brands like a mid-market US D2C operator launching DE + FR in parallel, this typically wins over single-Member-State competitors.
