Do I need a French EPR representative?

Three questions. A first view of whether French law requires you to appoint a representative and which streams likely apply.

1. Where is your company established?
2. Who buys your products in France?
3. What do you sell? (select all that apply)

The rule behind the result

Is the scope check legal advice?

No. It gives a first indication based on how French EPR rules apply. The written scope we send after you contact us looks at your actual flows and products.

Why does it matter who buys my products?

The producer is whoever first makes the product available in France. If a French reseller buys your goods, that reseller is the producer.
