The French version of the authorised representative: since 10 Jul 2026 (Law No. 2026-602, Art. L541-10-9-1 Code de l'environnement), producers without an establishment in France must appoint, in writing, a Mandataire established in France who steps into their EPR obligations. In practice, éco-organismes and EPR service providers offer this role as well.
