There is no single French EPR deadline: each eco-organisme sets its own calendar. Citeo collects household packaging and paper declarations every year between January and February. 
Citeo Refashion's 2026 calendar: declare actual 2025 volumes online from 14 January to 28 February, and pay by 31 March; late declarations and payments bring the penalties set in the contract.

How estimates work
Refashion bills year N on an estimate: for 2027 it equals the volumes declared for 2026, and the actual 2027 volumes are settled in the first quarter of 2028. A company starting in January 2027 is set to zero and declares its real 2027 volumes in early 2028. Refashion Donations, rentals and staff sales must be declared too. Refashion
What we do
We collect your figures, file each declaration on the eco-organisme's calendar and send you the amount before it is paid. See all deadlines. ADEME
Price
Our fee. Standard is €190 a year per eligible stream, Plus is €990 a year for up to three streams in one mandate, with a median saving of €1,071 a year in eco-contributions across our published clothing, footwear, electronics and furniture examples. Setup is €0, and eco-contributions are paid at the eco-organisme's published rate with 0% markup. See pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Is there one deadline for all streams?
No. Each eco-organisme has its own calendar, and some streams declare more than once a year. ADEME
What if we miss a deadline?
The eco-organisme applies the late penalties in its contract; repeated failures can lead to the IDU being withdrawn. Sources (2)ADEMEADEME — all about the unique identifier (IDU)ADEMEADEME — which producers the EPR schemes cover
