Why your clients need a French representative
UK packaging EPR and WEEE registrations do not cover France, and a UK company with no establishment in France must appoint a representative there. Légifrance UK firms refer France, Germany and Spain.
Why a firm outside France cannot hold the role itself: since 10 July 2026 a producer with no establishment in France must appoint a representative established in France, by written mandate. Légifrance Marketplaces selling into France must check each seller's unique identifier (IDU) or pay the eco-contributions in the seller's place. 
Ministère de l'Écologie ADEME issues one IDU per stream, through the eco-organisme the producer joins. ADEME
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. |
