Declare
Every year, you report the volumes of packaging you place on the market in France. This report forms the basis of your EPR compliance — it determines the amount of your eco-contribution.
Who are you?
Producer placing professional packaging on the market
From 1 January 2027, producers placing packaging on the market are responsible for the end of life of their packaging. This regulatory obligation is an opportunity to take practical action to optimise your packaging costs. It falls under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for professional packaging (EPRO).
Am I a producer placing packaging on the market?
You are a producer placing packaging on the market if you manufacture, design, sell, import or distribute packaging, whether empty or containing a product:
- On the French market (mainland France and the French overseas departments, regions and territories)
- Managed through professional waste channels: the packaging becomes waste at a professional’s premises, not at a private individual’s home.
Producer status is not always easy to determine.
Our questionnaire helps you quickly identify your obligations under the EPR scheme for professional packaging (EPRO).
Automobile
Emballages multi-matériaux, circuits logistiques complexes, forte présence d’emballages réemployables — la filière automobile a ses propres enjeux face à la REP emballages professionnels. Twiice vous accompagne de la mise en conformité à l’optimisation de vos pratiques.
Chemicals
Cans, drums, jerrycans, IBCs: chemical product packaging has its own rules.
Healthcare
Sterile barriers, regulated packaging, traceability and multi-material formats create constraints that limit straightforward substitutions. The challenge is to identify the flows that can change without compromising product safety.
Construction
Protective inserts, foams, pallet stretch film and site packaging: the construction sector generates large volumes of industrial packaging subject to EPR. Twiice works in this sector in partnership with Valobat.
What do I need to do?
My rights and obligations as a producer placing packaging on the market
As a producer placing packaging on the market, EPR imposes obligations on you, but also gives you rights. The two go hand in hand: by complying, you gain access to practical support to optimise your packaging and reduce your costs.
Finance
You fund the management of your packaging waste (collection, sorting, recycling) through the eco-levy. The amount varies depending on the material and the volumes declared.
Improve
By joining an accredited environmental organisation, you’ll gain access to support to help you reduce your packaging, promote reuse and facilitate recycling.
Optimise
Eco-modulation adjusts your levy based on the environmental performance of your packaging. Reusable packaging qualifies for a 50 per cent reduction — packaging that has been reused is not subject to a further levy.
Activate
Twiice’s financial and operational support is reserved for members: waste assessment, sorting at source, equipment, training and the incorporation of recycled materials.

FAQ
I am a logistics provider. Am I subject to the EPR scheme?
If you only use packaging customised with your clients’ brands, those clients are responsible for declaring their packaging. However, if you handle packaging under your own name or brand, you are responsible for that packaging.
I outsource the production or packaging of my product. Am I subject to the EPR scheme?
Yes. The principal is considered the producer. If production or packaging is subcontracted, the principal, not the subcontractor, declares the packaging and pays the eco-contributions.
I am the French sales branch of a foreign company. Am I subject to the EPR scheme?
Yes. French subsidiaries and branches are subject to the scheme for imports of which they are not the end user and for the packaging they place on the market in France.
What is a placing-on-the-market declaration?
The declaration is the process by which you provide Twiice with the quantities of packaging you placed on the market over a given period. It is used to calculate your eco-contribution and to feed the scheme’s indicators, such as reuse and recycling rates. It is submitted every year through MyTwiice.
How much are my eco-contributions and how are they calculated?
Your eco-contribution is calculated on the basis of the weight of the packaging you declare and the material it is made from. Amounts vary by material: plastic attracts the highest contribution and glass the lowest. Reusable packaging benefits from a reduction of at least 50%, while reused packaging gives rise to no new contribution. The detailed fee schedule can be downloaded from the Resource Centre.
What are the risks and penalties for non-compliance?
The French Environmental Code (Article L. 541-9-5) provides for several administrative and financial penalties for failure to comply with EPR obligations:
– a fine of up to €7,500 per unit or tonne placed on the market;
– a daily penalty payment of up to €20,000 until the situation is remedied;
– a fine of up to €30,000 for failure to register in SYDEREP (the French national EPR register), incorrect data or absence of a Unique Identifier (IDU).
I am a principal (I outsource production or packing). Am I subject to the EPR scheme?
Yes. If you entrust the production or packaging of your products to a subcontractor, you are responsible for declaring the packaging and paying the eco-contributions. The subcontractor is not liable for these obligations.
I am a transport packaging manufacturer, packaging fleet manager or pool operator. Am I subject to the EPR scheme?
Manufacturers of transport, service or primary-production packaging must declare the packaging they manufacture, unless it is produced under another company’s name or brand, in which case the principal is responsible. All packaging manufacturers are responsible for the sales or grouped packaging in which they ship the packaging they manufacture.
