Managed EPR: your EPR, run from product data to declarations
For brands, manufacturers and importers, French or foreign, with or without existing memberships. On quote.
What Managed EPR is
We act as your EPR department. Most of the work in EPR happens before the declaration: finding out what you sold, what each product's packaging weighs, which supplier still owes you a figure. With Managed EPR we do that work all year, prepare every declaration, and keep the evidence behind each figure.
It is for French brands, manufacturers and importers, for companies already registered with an eco-organisme, and for companies selling into France from abroad. If you have no establishment in France, the representative plan comes with it. 
ADEME
Who it is for
- Your catalogue changes often, or you sell through several shops and marketplaces.
- Your packaging data is spread across several suppliers, or some of it is missing.
- You have several companies or brands to declare for.
- Someone on your team spends days every year chasing figures before each declaration.
What you get, and when
| When | What we deliver |
|---|---|
| At the start | Your entities, streams and existing memberships confirmed, your data sources mapped and your reporting calendar set |
| Every month | Your sales reconciled, product records updated, a list of missing data and supplier requests followed up |
| Every quarter | A forecast of your eco-contributions, with the rates and assumptions behind it |
| Before each declaration | The declaration prepared and explained, sent to you for approval before anything is filed |
| After each declaration | The filed version and receipt kept, and the eco-organisme's invoice checked against what was declared ADEME |
| At year end | Your year-end review: a reconciliation of the full year and an evidence pack you can export |
A sample monthly report
An illustration of the monthly report, for an invented online shop selling kitchenware in France. It is not a real client.
| Line | This month |
|---|---|
| Orders imported | 1,240 orders from 2 shops, matched to 86 products |
| Packaging counted | Paper and cardboard 412 kg, plastics 38 kg, glass 0 kg |
| Missing data | 3 new products with no packaging weights: requests sent to 2 suppliers |
| Checks | 1 weight that looked wrong, corrected after the supplier replied |
| Next deadline | Annual declaration: figures ready for your approval 3 weeks before |
Each figure links back to the orders and packaging records it was built from, which is the evidence pack at year end.
Who does what
| Task | We do | You do |
|---|---|---|
| Sales data | Import and reconcile your sales every month | Give us access or send the exports |
| Missing packaging data | Ask your suppliers and follow up | Give us their contacts and your go-ahead to ask |
| Declarations | Prepare and check each one, and explain it | Answer product questions and approve before we file |
| Filing and evidence | File under your mandate and keep the receipts | Pay the eco-organisme's contributions |
Connect included, run by our team
Managed EPR runs on EPR EU Connect, the same software our self-service clients use. The difference is who does the work: with Connect on its own you enter your packaging data, contact your suppliers and check the figures; with Managed EPR our team does all of that and you approve the result.
Already registered?
You keep your memberships and IDUs. We look at what you have, take over the work under a written mandate and carry on from your declaration history. Nothing is cancelled and nothing is re-registered unless it needs to be. See EPR for companies established in France.
- We review your memberships, IDUs and past declarations.
- We agree the scope and send a written quote.
- We set up access and the mandate, and agree who does what.
- We take over your reporting calendar, starting with the next declaration.

Price
On quote. The work depends on your number of products, suppliers, data sources and streams, so we look at your data first and send a written quote. Managed EPR includes EPR EU Connect, run by our team: you never pay for both. Eco-contributions are billed at the eco-organisme's official rate with 0% markup, as on every plan. ADEME
Your quote depends on:
- the number of companies and countries;
- the streams you declare;
- how many products you sell and how often the catalogue changes;
- the state of your packaging data and how many suppliers we need to ask;
- how often you declare.
It lists everything it includes: the representation if you need it, the data work and the declarations. There is no separate plan fee or Connect subscription on top. Eco-contributions are always extra, at the eco-organisme's rate. ADEME
Tell us your countries, streams, roughly how many products and suppliers you have, where your sales data comes from and your next deadline.
Frequently asked questions
Is Managed EPR the same as an authorised representative?
No. The representative is the role French law requires from producers with no establishment in France. Managed EPR is the work around your EPR data and declarations. A company abroad needs both; a French company needs only the management.
Do you take French companies?
Yes. French companies can hand their EPR to us under a written mandate; you stay the producer and the memberships stay in your name.
Is there a price list?
Not yet. We quote each company after looking at its products, suppliers and data, so the price matches the actual work.
Is the evidence pack an audit certificate?
No. It is the record of how each declared figure was built: the sales, the packaging data and our checks. It helps if an eco-organisme asks questions; it is not an independent audit. ADEME
Can it cover Germany and Spain too?
Yes, through our sister sites for Germany and Spain, with the same data used for each country.
