EPR Schemes: Producer Representative Organisations warn of increasing complexity. What about the producers in all this?
The announcement is striking: the main French Producer Representative Organisations, from Citeo to Refashion via Ecosystem or Ecologic, have published a joint declaration to warn of the threats to the EPR model. A rare signal, which illustrates the growing tension in an ecosystem where obligations are multiplying without always being linked.
EPR governance under pressure
Created to make producers responsible for the end of life of their products, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) has grown strongly since the AGEC law. But today, the Producer Representative Organisations denounce:
- An increasingly unreadable governance, between ministry, ADEME, communities and regulators.
- Successive uncoordinated reforms, such as local EPR or environmental labelling.
- A short-term strategy that undermines the readability of industrial investments.
Result: disorganized Schemes, exploding costs... and producers struggling to keep up.
A complexity that penalizes those placing products on the market
From textiles to toys, from furniture to construction, all EPR Schemes are concerned. Operational challenges are piling up: unstable scales, disparate declaration formats, lack of traceability... The risk? A loss of confidence in the system and a gradual disengagement of companies.
Producers, for their part, are caught in a bind: on the one hand, an increased requirement for compliance, on the other, limited means to effectively manage all their EPR obligations.
Automate, track, anticipate: the CompliancR solution
At CompliancR, we share the Producer Representative Organisations' observation: the complexity is real, but it should not be a barrier. This is the whole point of our AI platform: to transform a regulatory constraint into an operational advantage.
Our solution enables those placing products on the market to:
- Centralize their multi-Scheme obligations in a single space.
- Automatically calculate eco-contributions from their product catalog.
- Generate declarations that comply with the requirements of each Producer Representative Organisation.
- Monitor regulatory changes in real time, without risk of oversight or error.
The future of EPR is now
Producer Representative Organisations are asking for a 10-year roadmap. In the meantime, producers must face the reality of everyday life: declarations with multiple deadlines, audits, enhanced traceability, penalties in the event of non-compliance, etc.
Now more than ever, equipping yourself with a reliable, automated tool aligned with the requirements of the Producer Representative Organisations is becoming essential.
CompliancR helps you regain control over EPR complexity. Test our solution today and automate your declarations, whatever the Scheme.
