These pages summarise the public texts for each scheme and link to the eco-organisations' public sites; they report no data received privately. It is you who determine which schemes concern your products.

If you need a representative established in France

FrenchEPR is written by REP·Pro, an authorised representative (mandataire REP) based in Béziers. Its self-service plan registers a producer with the eco-organisation of each scheme chosen, obtains the identifier and files the declarations: one scheme €29 a month on a 12-month plan, no setup fee; up to three schemes €59; up to six €89; beyond 6 categories, monthly billing only. Eco-contributions invoiced by the eco-organisations are separate. Published prices · Appoint a representative.

Guides are general information drawn from public texts and public pages, not advice on an individual case. It is you who determine whether your situation falls under French EPR and which schemes concern your products.

FAQ

Can one registration cover several schemes?

No. Each scheme is a separate registration and identifier, even when the same eco-organisation is approved for several of them.
