🇮🇹

From Italy to France.
One partnership, one French leg covered.

Local ecosystem we reference: CONAI, COREPLA, COMIECO, RICREA, CIAL, RILEGNO, COBAT, RAEE consortium
Examples of Italy firms we are inviting to our partner program (in development): CONAI member organisations, Italian VAT compliance providers, Italian e-commerce launch consultants

The CONAI consortium and its sub-consortia operate the Italian packaging EPR ecosystem. Your Italian clients shipping to France, Italian fashion brands on Amazon France, gastronomy importers, design exporters, wine and spirit producers, need French-specific representation under both AGEC (existing) and PPWR Article 45 (from August 2026). We become your France-established arm without you operating a French entity.

Why this matters for Italy firms

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

Italian e-commerce exporters target France as #1 EU market beyond home
France is the most common second-country market for Italian D2C and Amazon FBA brands, particularly in fashion, design, gastronomy and wine. EPR France hits them on day 21 of launch.
CONAI ≠ French Citeo, no automatic recognition
Italian packaging EPR contributions through CONAI do not transfer to or substitute French Citeo registration. The French legal entity must register independently with Citeo (or Léko or Adelphe) via a France-established mandataire.
PPWR Article 45 multiplies the obligation across the EU
From 12 August 2026, every EU Member State requires a local authorised representative for packaging EPR. Your Italian clients shipping to France, Germany, Spain need a representative in each. We are the France leg.
You can not legally be the French mandataire from Milan
The Conseil d’État’s EcoDDS ruling (10 November 2023) requires the French mandataire to be France-established. Italian firms cannot register directly on SYDEREP. We resolve that constraint as your local delivery partner.
Country-specific FAQ

Questions Italy-based firms ask us.

We work within the CONAI consortium for Italian packaging. Can we maintain Italian operations and add France via partnership?

Yes. CONAI and the sub-consortia (COREPLA, COMIECO, RICREA, etc.) cover Italian packaging EPR; we cover French. The two operate independently, Italian membership and contributions stay with you and CONAI; French registration and eco-contribution go through us. We invoice the client directly for French EPR; commission flows to you quarterly under the referral letter. The client sees one French invoice from us, one Italian invoice from you.

Italian dichiarazione SISTRI / RAEE / batteries, does French EPR have an equivalent?

Yes, with different operational details. France runs WEEE through Ecosystem and Ecologic (two competing accredited eco-organisms; producers choose one). Batteries through Ecosystem (most common for portable) or Screlec. Annual declarations go to ADEME via the SYDEREP teleservice rather than the Italian Registro Nazionale dei Produttori. We file the French side; you handle the Italian side as today.

Are Italian wine and spirits exporters in scope of French EPR?

Yes. Glass packaging is covered by Adelphe (the wine/spirits/glass-heavy eco-organism, owned by Citeo). For Italian wineries exporting to French consumers via Amazon Italia → Amazon France logistic chain or direct D2C, French packaging EPR applies. We handle Adelphe registration as part of the standard packaging stream.

How do we handle invoicing for Italian B2B clients used to Italian VAT and reverse-charge rules?

We invoice the client in EUR for French EPR services. Commission is paid to you quarterly in EUR. You invoice your Italian client only for the Italian-scope services you provide. Two parallel invoice flows, no co-billing complexity, keeps the maths simple for both finance teams.
