The EPR for household packaging applies to all organisations placing packaged products consumed or used by households on the French market. It makes them responsible for managing the end of life of such household packaging. It includes collection, sorting, recycling and reuse, as well as eco-design and consumer awareness-raising.
It can apply to you as a producer, importer of goods onto the French market, or the first to place packaged products targeted at households on the French market.

If you fall into one of the above categories, EPR applies to you and you will need to join a producer responsibility organisation (PRO) such as Citeo, which takes care of managing and financing the end of life of your household packaging.
As a reminder, Citeo is a not-for-profit organisation which invests all the contributions made by its clients into managing the end of life of packaging.
How each euro paid to Citeo is spent:
Citeo is also the approved producer responsibility organisation for the graphic paper EPR scheme.
