Clothing, household linen and footwear: French EPR authorised representative

Clothing, household linen and shoes sold to consumers.

Quick answer

A company not established in France that sells products of the stream “Clothing, household linen and footwear” in France must appoint an authorised representative established in France (article L. 541-10-9-1 of the Environmental Code, mandatory since 10 July 2026) and join an approved eco-organisme: Refashion. EPR France Rep acts as that representative: we hold the membership in your name, obtain your IDU and file your declarations. Standard costs €190 a year for one stream and Plus €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 examples. Setup is €0. Eco-contributions are paid to the eco-organisme at its published rate, with 0% markup.

Lower eco-contributions with Plus

We help clients cut their eco-contributions substantially. With Plus, many products in this stream carry a lower official rate than the basic rate. Across our 38 published examples for this stream, the saving is €870 to €1,228.20 a year, with a median of €1,064.

Women's T-shirts, 2,000 a year: €1,159.80 at basic rates, €64.60 with Plus. Saving: €1,095.20.
