đź’ˇ 22 Producer Representative Organisations create The Collective: what this changes for your EPR declarations
A shared governance for more clarity and dialogue
Announced on June 4, 2025, the "Collective of Producer Representative Organisations" marks a major turning point in the structuring of EPR in France. By grouping together under the associative status (law 1901), the Producer Representative Organisations intend to strengthen their coordination, but also to clarify their role with those placing products on the market, public authorities and stakeholders.
Their mission is twofold:
- Promote skills, experiences and innovations within each EPR Scheme;
- Expressing a collective position on changes to the regulatory framework, fee schedules, and operational practices.
A desire to listen and build
In a sector subject to rapid change (AGEC law, modulation, environmental labeling, etc.), this grouping demonstrates a clear commitment to listening more closely to the expectations of those in the field, including producers, distributors, local authorities, artisans, and actors in the social and solidarity economy.
The president of the Collective, Dominique Mignon (Ecomaison), accompanied by Nicolas Defrenne (Treasurer, Refashion) and Arnaud Humbert-Droz (Secretary, Citeo), explains that this initiative is part of an ambitious roadmap: supporting the transformation of EPR strengthening the transparency and clarity of eco-organizations' actions.
What this changes for producers and those placing products on the market
This consolidation reinforces one message: EPR compliance EPR just an administrative constraint. It is becoming a shared strategic issue:
- Greater coordination between EPR Schemes (Textiles, EEE, Packaging, Construction, etc.);
- Improved clarity on tariff changes and services offered by Producer Representative Organisations;
- Strengthened dialogue between reuse and recycling stakeholders and those placing products on the market.
For businesses, this means greater stability, foresight, and potentially a simplification of future procedures, particularly in terms of reporting or when structuring voluntary initiatives.
