The Environmental Reporting & Compliance Department of the Franco-German Chamber of Trade and Industry supports companies as an independent partner in meeting their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations in France and across Europe. Upon request, we take care of the entire operational and administrative process. From selecting suitable and cost-effective compliance schemes, appointing the required authorised representatives, and preparing and submitting the reports, our clients benefit from a comprehensive, one-stop service.

 

A particular focus of our work is data management. We help companies prepare their packaging and product data for the relevant reporting obligations and adapt it to the requirements of national compliance schemes. As each country has its own regulations and data formats, we ensure that all required information is provided accurately and on time. In this way, we reduce our clients’ administrative burden and lay the foundation for efficient compliance management across Europe.

Authorized Representative in France: Your EPR Compliance Solution

With Law No. 2026-602 of 8 July 2026, France has extended the requirement for companies not established in France to appoint an authorized representative to all Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) sectors. The French-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CFACI) acts as an authorized representative for companies established in Europe and supports them in fulfilling their EPR obligations in France.

Umweltreporting & compliance in der AHK Frankreich

Umweltreporting und EPR-Compliance

Ihr zentraler Ansprechpartner für alle Bereiche der Erweiterten Herstellerverantwortung (EPR) in Frankreich, Deutschland, Europa und der Welt.

The collaboration works excellently. All information is provided promptly and, above all, clearly. Since the topic of “packaging” has become very extensive (and is handled differently in each country), this is a very important point for us. The service is unique – fast, informative AND friendly. Perfect customer service, which is increasingly rare these days. Assessment and information on pictograms for our 5‑pack of essential oils for Aldi France. With this information, we were able to prepare all print data quickly and correctly.

We are glad that the AHK handles the matters of Ecomaison, Citeo, Refashion, and the prevention plans in France for us. This way, all EPR sectores are managed centrally through one single point of contact. We ourselves do not need any knowledge of French, which is also a great advantage. Whenever we have questions, the AHK staff are there for us, and the cooperation is very collaborative and pleasant. Thank you for the excellent service.

I greatly appreciate the cooperation with your team, especially because I am always informed about all changes—which occur quite frequently. Your support makes complex data submissions significantly easier, and having a dedicated personal contact at all times makes the collaboration both pleasant and efficient. For us as an international company, the assistance provided by the AHK and its cross‑border network is particularly valuable, as packaging regulations in many countries continue to evolve and become increasingly complex.
