CompliancR automatically detects the EPR Schemes on which your products depend, but also all the Producer Representative Organisations in charge of these Schemes. ComplaincR is also able to provide you with the scale associated with each of your products in record time for all the Schemes and Producer Representative Organisations concerned. As a reminder, the scales determined by each Producer Representative Organisation vary according to numerous criteria (destination, materials used, weight, volumes, etc.).
