From Spain to France.
One partnership, one French leg covered.
Spanish e-commerce GMV to France is rising fast on the back of fashion, beauty, gastronomy and consumer electronics exporters using Amazon, Cdiscount and Shopify. Your Spanish EPR registration under Ecoembes covers Spain only; the French side requires a France-established mandataire. We are it, on a clean referral basis, making France a standard add-on to your Spanish service rather than a parallel project.
Three or four reasons French EPR ends up on your roadmap.
Questions Spain-based firms ask us.
We operate within the Ecoembes / Ecovidrio system in Spain. Does French EPR replicate that structure?
Structurally similar, multiple eco-organisms per stream, producer-pays model, annual declarations. Operationally different, France runs more streams (10+ vs Spain’s 7-8), the eco-modulation grid is different, and the SYDEREP registry is public (Ecoembes is more opaque). We handle the operational specifics; the underlying principles your team already understands transfer.
Spain implemented Real Decreto 1055/2022 for packaging in 2023. Does French EPR have an equivalent recent regulation?
France passed the AGEC law (Loi 2020-105) in February 2020, which consolidated and expanded the existing EPR framework. The 2023 milestone in France was the EcoDDS Conseil d’État ruling (10 November 2023) clarifying the civil mandate doctrine. France and Spain are both implementing PPWR Article 45 from 12 August 2026, same EU date, same EU-wide requirement.
Our Spanish clients ship D2C to France via Correos Express, GLS, SEUR. Does carrier choice affect French EPR?
No. The trigger is placing the product on the French market, i.e., delivery to a French address, regardless of carrier. Whether the order ships via Correos, GLS, DHL or Amazon FBA, French EPR applies. The carrier is irrelevant to scope, though some carriers (Amazon FBA in particular) enforce verification by checking SYDEREP.
Can we use a single Spanish-French EPR proposal for clients exploring both markets?
Yes, on a case-by-case basis for specific named enterprise pursuits. Co-signed proposals where the brand wants a single accountable EU partner with multi-firm depth. We continue to invoice the French scope directly; you invoice Spain. For everyday volume the plain referral track is the right model.
