Frequently asked questions
Do we get the bonus automatically?
No. You declare the qualifying products and keep the proof your eco-organisme asks for. ADEME
Can a product have a bonus and a penalty?
It depends on the stream: in furniture, a penalised product cannot get a bonus; in textiles, bonuses and penalties can add up. Sources (2)ADEMEADEME — Filière REP Textiles, linge, chaussures (TLC)ADEMEADEME — Filière REP Éléments d'ameublement (EA)
