The AGEC Act: a regulatory obligation that Marketplaces can no longer ignore
The AGEC law requires all online platforms (Amazon, ManoMano, Cdiscount, etc.) to check that third-party sellers comply with their EPR obligations. This includes:
- Registration with an approved eco-organization ;
- Obtain a UIN (unique identifier issued by ADEME);
- The declaration of volumes marketed for each Scheme concerned.
- The transmission of eco-taxes for their WEEE and EA products
This principle of "transfer of environmental responsibility" transforms marketplaces into co-pilots of EPR compliance, in the same way as producers or importers.
Risks for marketplaces in the event of non-compliance
Failure to rigorously monitor EPR on the vendor side exposes platforms to several risks:
- ADEME sanctions: fines in the event of inspection or non-compliance;
- Degradation of platform image: accusations of greenwashing or laxity.
In addition, marketplaces must produce an annual report to the authorities proving that they have checked the validity of their sellers' UIN .
Increasingly demanding requirements... in the face of a highly heterogeneous vendor base
The challenge is that sellers are not all at the same level:
- Some are unaware that they are subject to the EPR ;
- Others use invalid UIN or UINs that do not correspond to the correct Scheme ;
- Many don't know how to calculate their eco-contributions.
As a result, marketplaces are faced with a growing verification burden, which is often manual, poorly structured and time-consuming.

EPR compliance becomes a strategic lever for marketplaces
In 2025, compliance is no longer just a box to tick. It's a selection criterion for sellers, and a guarantee of seriousness for consumers.
