Leo Escourrou

Leo Escourrou is the founder of EPR Representative, a French-established authorized representative for non-EU producers under Articles L. 541-10 II and following of the Code de l’environnement. He advises US, UK, Chinese and other non-EU brands on French EPR compliance under the post-EcoDDS civil mandate framework (Conseil d’État, 10 November 2023) and the upcoming PPWR Article 45 regime that applies from 12 August 2026.

What I do for non-EU producers

• Sign and execute the civil mandate (Articles 1984 and 1998 of the Code civil) that allows your non-EU entity to register for French EPR, post-EcoDDS.
• File registration dossiers with each accredited eco-organism — Citeo, Léko, Adelphe, Ecosystem, Ecologic, Refashion, Ecomaison, Valdelia, Corepile, Screlec, Valobat, Ecominéro — on your behalf.
• Monitor ADEME SYDEREP publication, confirm IDU issuance, and produce marketplace-ready documentation for Amazon Seller Central, Cdiscount Pro, ManoMano and others.
• File the annual declarations by 28 February each year for the previous calendar year’s tonnage, across every stream you are registered for.
• Respond on your behalf to ADEME, DGCCRF and eco-organism correspondence — including mises en demeure, audit requests, and PPWR Article 45 transitions for the 12 August 2026 deadline.
