CompliancR automatically detects the EPR channels on which your products depend, as well as all the eco-organizations in charge of these channels. ComplaincR is also able to send you, in record time, the rates associated with each of your products, for all the channels and eco-organizations concerned. As a reminder, the rates set by each eco-organization vary according to numerous criteria (destination, materials used, weight, volumes, etc.).
