What is an EPR Packaging France Declaration?
An EPR declaration is a mandatory annual report of the packaging you sell in France. This includes the volume and type of materials you place on the market.
After your registration:
- You must report your packaging data every year
- Your fees are calculated based on this declaration
- Incorrect or missing declarations can lead to penalties
Declarations
Provisional and Final Declarations Explained
In France, EPR packaging declarations consist of two key moments.
Provisional declaration
(current year)
At the start of the year, you submit an estimate of the packaging you expect to place on the market.
This is used to:
Calculate advance eco-contributions
Ensure continuous compliance
Avoid delays in reporting
Final declaration
(previous year)
At the end of the reporting cycle, you submit the actual figures of the packaging you sold.
This ensures:
Accurate cost calculation
Correction of earlier estimates
Full compliance with French regulations
Declarations
Who Needs to Submit a Declaration?
If you are registered for EPR packaging in France, you are required to submit declarations.
Amazon and marketplace sellers
Platforms require ongoing compliance, not just registration.
Active sellers in France
You continue selling packaged products to French consumers.
Importers and non-French companies
You remain responsible for reporting your packaging volumes annually.
What Data Needs to Be Reported?
Your declaration is based on detailed packaging data. This typically includes:
- Packaging weight per material (plastic, paper, glass, etc.)
- Number of units sold
- Type of packaging used (primary, secondary, shipping)
Accurate data is key to avoid overpaying or underreporting.
Prevention and Eco-Design Plan (PEP)
Depending on your situation, you may also be required to create a Prevention and Eco-Design Plan (PEP).
This plan focuses on:
- Reducing packaging waste
- Improving recyclability
- Making packaging more sustainable
We can support you in determining whether a PEP is required and assist in setting it up correctly.
