and the French EPR system

Manufacturers and companies responsible for putting products on the market are required to finance or organize the management of waste for the end-of-life of their products.

In France, most companies have chosen to organize themselves collectively within the framework of ecoorganizations approved by the public authorities.

• Currently, 17 waste management channels operate according to this principle in France.

• To continue this movement, the anti-waste law for a circular economy (AGEC law) is adding new sectors to the principle of EPR (restaurants/hotel/coffeehouses, industrial waste, construction industry, construction, sanitary hygiene products, etc.)

• The majority of countries in the European Union and many other states around the world have adopted this system.
