Key deadline
EPRO comes into force on 1 January 2027. If you have not yet joined, now is the time to prepare: joining late may result in a period of non-compliance, with the associated risks.
Unsure about your situation?
Some situations require a specific assessment of your EPRO obligations: foreign subsidiaries, private-label products, marketplaces, logistics providers, etc.
What are the risks of non-compliance?
Failure to meet your EPRO obligations may lead to penalties under the French Environmental Code, including fines and daily penalty payments. Preparing for compliance helps protect your business and avoid these risks.
With you at every stage
At every stage of your EPRO compliance, you can rely on our teams, your MyTwiice account and dedicated tools: eco-contribution calculator, packaging flow analysis, declaration templates and more.
Everything is designed to simplify the process and secure your compliance.
FAQ
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).
How do I join Twiice?
Membership is completed entirely online through MyTwiice. Have the required information ready: account creator details, company information, contract signatory details and the type of contract required. Once validated, Twiice registers your company and provides your Unique Identifier (IDU).

Twiice provides your IDU within 3 working days of your registration on MyTwiice and the signature of your contract. It is specific to EPRO and must appear in your General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
How do I declare my packaging?
Declarations are made through MyTwiice in one of two ways: manual line-by-line entry, or import of a structured Excel file for high-volume declarations.
The Twiice declaration matrix lets you pre-fill 50% to 75% of the coding.
The Twiice declaration matrix guides you column by column and lets you pre-fill 50% to 75% of the coding.
How is eco-modulation calculated in practice?
The amount varies depending on whether the packaging is single-use (full contribution), reusable (reduction of at least 50%) or actually reused (no new contribution). Other criteria, such as incorporating recycled materials or eco-design, may be added to this mechanism.
How can I prove that packaging is reused in order to benefit from eco-modulation?
Two separate mechanisms apply to reuse.
For packaging that is actually reused, no new contribution is due, provided that evidence of reuse is kept available for the eco-organisation and the quantities concerned are declared each year. For packaging placed on the market after 1 January 2027, it must also be possible to demonstrate that a contribution was paid when it was first placed on the market.
For reusable packaging, from its first placing on the market, an eco-modulation premium applies if it forms part of an effective reuse system: a reduction of at least 50% in the contribution, rising to 100% for packaging belonging to a standard range.
How can I prove that I have met my obligations?
Your Unique Identifier (IDU), issued by ADEME and provided by Twiice once you have joined, is evidence of your EPR compliance. It serves as proof of declaration to the public authorities and your customers. It must appear in your General Terms and Conditions of Sale.
