Graphic paper under French EPR
Direct answer: The scheme covers printed paper: catalogues, leaflets, notices, magazines; books excluded (one scheme, with a declaration threshold set by the texts). The producer is the company that first places such products on the French market; after registration with an approved eco-organisation it receives an identifier for the scheme (FRxxxxxx_xx). Declarations are made in tonnes per year, at the rhythm the eco-organisation publishes; contributions follow its published scale. It is you who determine whether your products fall in this scheme.
What the public texts cover
Graphic paper: printed paper: catalogues, leaflets, notices, magazines; books excluded. One scheme, with a declaration threshold set by the texts. The texts define the scheme by the nature of the product and by the act of placing it on the French market; the eco-organisations publish nomenclatures that detail the families.
The approved eco-organisations
Citeo, Léko. Approval orders are published in the Journal officiel; the ADEME page of the scheme lists the operators in force. This page names them so you can find their public pages; it does not recommend one.
Registration, identifier, declaration
The producer joins one eco-organisation of the scheme; ADEME issues one identifier for the scheme, listed in the public register. Declarations are made in tonnes per year; contributions follow the scale the eco-organisation publishes, with its modulations. A producer with no establishment in France may appoint a representative established in France to carry these steps under written mandate.
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.
