FRENCH EPR SERVICES – PACKAGING

EPR PACKAGING SERVICES

Global VAT Compliance offers EPR Packaging services in France for all online and marketplace sellers who are required to register under this scheme to fulfil their EPR obligations.

What is EPR?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers are given a significant responsibility – financial and/or physical – for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products.

In other words, EPR is an environmental policy that makes sellers placing products subject to EPR requirements responsible for the entire life cycle of the products that they introduce on the market, from their design until the end of life (including waste collection).

Why you need to report your packaging usage material?

By law, all sellers introducing products in the French territory, need to comply with EPR regulations and, in the case of Packaging, presenting the applicable type of declaration according to the total number of Consumer Sales Units (CSU) to be sold in France.

A Consumer Sales Unit is a unit of packaged product which a consumer can buy separately from others. Example: A pack of 6 bottles of yogurt is 1 CSU and 6 CUs (Consumer Units)

In addition, marketplaces might share information about packaging materials usage, which will need to be in line with the reported quantities.

What happen if sellers do not comply?

The consequences for not compliance might defer between marketplaces, but Amazon, being the main marketplace, will by default pay corresponding eco-contributions to the qualified Producer Responsibility Organizations(s) on the seller behalf for sales made from January 2022 and recover these amounts from the seller.

What services does Global VAT Compliance provide?

GVC offers a simple flat fee scheme to comply with your EPR Packaging obligations for all sellers placing no more than 20,000 CSUs on the French market in the current year (2023).

Other schemes will apply if the number of CSUs exceed the 20,000 yearly, and GVC will be able to help you with them as well.

• Sectorial declaration: between 20,000 and 500,000 CSUs

• Detailed declaration per CSU: > 500,000 CSUs
