# How many new EPR registrations does France get?

ADEME publishes the register with no dates. We compare copies of it, so you can see what is new.

## The figure

## Companies in the register

Company counts, including those registered in France. This is a net change: companies that left are already taken off.

| Date | Companies with an IDU | Registered outside France | Registered in France |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 October 2026 | 250,793 | 170,018 | 80,775 |
| 6 November 2026 | 253,118 | 171,511 | 81,607 |

## Companies registered in France

Our older copies hold foreign companies only, so we can count new IDUs for French companies from our 6 November 2026 copy onwards. The first figure comes with the next comparison. Until then, the company table above gives the net change.

## How we count

- We download ADEME's complete file and check it against the checksum ADEME publishes.
- A **new IDU** is one in this file and not in our previous copy. A **left** IDU is the reverse.
- One company holds one IDU per stream, so IDUs are not companies.
- Outside France means the register's country field is not FR.
- Nothing is estimated: each figure is a count of two files.

## What this cannot tell you

- **The registration date.** ADEME publishes none, so an IDU counts in the period we first saw it.
- **Why an IDU left.** It could be a closed membership, a merger or a correction. We do not know.
- **Why registrations rose or fell.** The law of July 2026 may play a part, but these counts do not show cause.
- **Who is compliant.** A company with no IDU may have no duty, or may sell only through a marketplace paying in its place.
- **Professional packaging.** The file of 4 October 2026 listed 1,063 EPRO IDUs. The file of 6 November 2026 lists none, although ADEME's description still names the stream. We treat that as a change to the file, not as companies leaving, and it explains most of the “left” figure in the latest period.
- **Three stream codes changed** in the same period (JOUET to JJ, VEHICULE to VHCL, TABAC to TBC). We keep them joined up.
