The AGEC law: a regulatory obligation that is now essential for Marketplaces

The AGEC law requires all online marketplace platforms (Amazon, ManoMano, Cdiscount, etc.) to verify that third-party sellers comply with their EPR obligations. This includes:

• Registration with an approved Producer Representative Organisation;
  
  
• Obtaining a UIN (unique identification number issued by ADEME);
  
  
• Declaration of volumes placed on the market for each relevant Scheme.

​

• The transmission of eco-participation fees for their WEEE and Furniture 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 compliance on the sellers' side exposes platforms to several risks:

• Sanctions from ADEME: fines in the event of inspection or breaches;
  
  
• Damage to the platform's image: accusations of greenwashing or laxity.
  
  

In addition, marketplaces must produce an annual report to the administration proving that they have checked the validity of their sellers' UINs.

An increasing requirement... facing a very heterogeneous seller base

The challenge is that sellers are not all at the same level:

• Some are unaware that they are subject to EPR;
  
  
• Others use UINs that are invalid or do not correspond to the correct Scheme;
  
  
• Many do not know how to calculate their eco-contributions.
  
  

As a result, marketplaces bear an increasing verification burden, which is often manual, poorly structured and time-consuming.

• In attractiveness for responsible sellers;
  
  
• In visibility in an increasingly regulated market;
  
  
• In efficiency in their reporting obligations.
