Other French EPR schemes: building products, chemicals, lubricants and more
Direct answer: France runs more than twenty EPR schemes. Beyond packaging, electrical equipment, textiles, furniture, toys and sports, batteries, paper, tyres and vehicles, the others concern building products and materials, household chemicals, lubricants, medical sharps, pleasure boats, photovoltaic panels, cartridges and tobacco products, among others. Each has its approved eco-organisations and its own number. On MyEPR, tick « other » and name the scheme; the mandate records it. It is you who determine which schemes apply.

How it works on MyEPR
Tick « another scheme » on the categories screen and name the product family in your order e-mail; the mandate records the scheme. If the eco-organisation's representative procedure is not confirmed to us (see status), we tell you before any registration. The plan counts the scheme as one category.
What MyEPR does for this category
Under the mandate, REP·Pro, established in France, joins the eco-organisation you choose for this category, obtains your unique identifier, files the declarations from the volumes you provide and remains your contact in France. The eco-contributions are invoiced by the eco-organisation at its published rates and re-invoiced to you at cost; the plan price is the only fee. One category is the Starter plan (€29 a month or €249 a year, 12-month plan); with other categories it counts towards Pro or Complete. Pricing · Mandate · How it works.
