The steps to EPR compliance
EPR in France is complex, and your EPR compliance journey as a producer requires meticulous work, which can be chronologically summarized as follows:
- First, find out which sectors your products depend on.
- Contact the Producer Representative Organisations in charge of these Schemes and familiarize yourself with their rules and proposed contract.
- Choose eco-organizations when there are multiple options available.
- Join these Producer Representative Organisations by connecting to their intranet.
- Check that you have obtained your UINs , if you already holdUINs, check their validity with ADEME.
- Check your email inboxes very regularly to ensure you don't miss any declaration deadlines or regulatory and pricing updates.
- Every year, submit your declarations to each eco-organization to which you belong. For each product, you will then need to find the appropriate eco-contribution scale from among the multitude of scales offered for each Scheme the eco-organizations concerned.
Each eco-organization has its own registration process, which means that if your products fall under four different categories, for example, you will probably have to register with four eco-organizations, adapt to a different process each time, and enter your information four times in order to become a member. Worse still, when you have to submit your annual marketing declarations, how do you sort out which declarations are simplified and which are not, whether billing is semi-annual or annual, and how do you find the right eco-participation scale?
This also means that you will receive as many emails confirming your registration, providing information, opening declarations, reminders, etc.
