- Your data, re-used. Clients can upload the packaging figures they already have as a CSV.
- France is 19 streams, not one. Packaging, electrical equipment, textiles, furniture, toys and more, each with its own eco-organisme and IDU.

How to add it
When a client adds a country you don't serve, introduce them for that country only. They sign a mandate with us for that country, and nothing else changes.
Partner terms
| Term | What it means |
|---|---|
| Your fee | 20% of what your client contracts with us, and 20% again of every yearly renewal, for as long as the client stays. No cap. |
| Data service | 20% of every month a client stays on EPR EU Connect, our €89-a-month packaging data service. |
| Excluded | Eco-contributions and scheme fees: we pass them on at cost with 0% margin, so there is nothing to share. |
| When paid | Once your client has paid us. |
| Client price | The same published price as anyone else. Your fee comes out of ours. |
| Who keeps the client | You. Each client signs its own mandate with our representative, because the law requires a named representative; everything outside EPR stays with you. |
| Your tools | A page at epreurep.com/yourfirm with your name and logo, a partner code, and a dashboard with leads, paid clients, their yearly fees and your fee. |
| Client data | You see a client's own account only after the client approves your access, and it can withdraw it at any time. |
Three countries
| Country | Our representative | What the client does |
|---|---|---|
| France | EPRFranceRep SAS, Paris | Picks the streams and signs the mandate online; IDUs follow eco-organisme membership |
| Germany | EPRGermanyRep | Signs by hand or with a qualified e-signature, registers in LUCID personally and names the representative there Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsr |
| Spain | EPRSpainRep | Signs the mandate and provides the company documents; a Spanish tax number comes first, so start Spain early |
We do not offer other countries for now.
