Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Software France
Access resources on France's EPR landscape and learn how to automate your 2026 reporting for seamless compliance.
In Summary:
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for France
France operates a sophisticated Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system, which is governed by the Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy (AGEC) Law,
The French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) and the Ministry for Ecological Transition oversee this framework. At the operational level, management is delegated to state-approved Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs; such as CITEO).
France features a detailed eco-modulation scheme designed to incentivise sustainable manufacturing. PROs apply a system of bonuses and maluses (penalties). Packaging that incorporates recycled materials or facilitates easy sorting receives discounts, while "disruptive" materials that hinder recycling streams incur substantial surcharges.
Data Completion
Consolidating data for your whole portfolio and ensuring you have complete information required for eco-modulation rules is a daunting task.
Inaccurate Reporting is Costly
Without precise reporting, products may be defaulted into the most expensive fee categories, while missed deadlines further compound these costs through non-compliance.
Manual Work Drains Resources
Carrying out calculations in fragmented spreadsheets consumes time and resources that could be better allocated to strategic initiatives.
What if you could streamline
the EPR compliance process for France through a single platform?
Systematically Approach EPR Declaration
with Recyda
Report accurately on time
Avoid incompliance and potential fines.
Save time
No more sifting through documentation, and doing calculations through complex spreadsheets.
Reduce overall EPR costs
By benefiting from bonuses and reducing penalties.
Our powerful platform combined with our team's strategic guidance, ensures an efficient and accurate EPR reporting process.
Here's How Recyda
Streamlines Your French EPR Reporting Workflow
Step 1
Perform a Data Import
Import and consolidate your packaging data into one streamlined platform. This replaces the hassle of having to manage data and carrying calculations in multiple scattered spreadsheets.
Import via API, Uploads, File-based Mapping.
Multiple integration methods to fetch data from host systems: ERP, PLM, etc.
Step 2
Prepare Your Data and Resolve Gaps
Go through a structured workflow to complete your data, and hence, enhance the accuracy of your EPR declarations.
Unspecific Materials
Identify packaging units in your imported data with incomplete or vague material definitions.
For example, materials imported as “plastics” need to be specified as PET, LDPE, etc. for accurate evaluations.
Data Gaps
Based on the packaging type, complete any missing attributes (e.g. colour, separability, density) to accurately calculate EPR costs—particularly bonuses and maluses.
Unassigned Contribution Groups
Identify unassigned packaging units and assign them to the appropriate contribution groups for accurate reporting.
Heuristics
Rather than having to individually fill out missing data, use logic based heuristics to populate missing data fields.
For example, apply a logic that all packaging from brands A, B, C are coloured, and those from brands D, E, F are opaque.
Step 3
Get an Overview of EPR and Eco-modulation
EPR costs and applicable bonuses/maluses for your packaging units are then automatically calculated based on the French guidelines and your PROs rates.
EPR Cost Breakdown
View total obligations in one place, or drill down into categories or CSU as needed.
Eco-modulation Breakdown
Access a detailed report outlining applicable bonuses and maluses for different CSU.
Step 4
Download Your Submission-ready Report
Choose a reporting period and export PRO-ready data (e.g. CITEO) in the required format, with calculations automatically applied.
