#TECP2611303AFrance updates data reporting rules for producer responsibility waste schemes
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The order expands and clarifies the data that producer responsibility schemes must report to ADEME, especially for packaging, paper, batteries, electrical equipment, and other waste streams. It brings individual producer systems closer to the same reporting framework as approved eco-organisations and adds more detail on costs, financial contributions, support payments, provisions, recycled plastic content, reuse, collection, treatment, and recycling destinations. Businesses covered by French extended producer responsibility rules should expect more granular annual reporting. Packaging and battery producers, eco-organisations, and companies running individual compliance systems will need to track product volumes, materials, reuse status, waste flows, treatment operators, financial supports, and certain EU-aligned data fields more carefully.

Eco-organisations and producers with individual systems must report waste management data for household packaging, printed paper, and graphic paper, including treated and eliminated waste quantities by treatment stage and standard, treatment facility name, SIRET and department, waste label and code, and treatment label and code.
Eco-organisations and individual systems must include used products sent for reuse or preparation for reuse in reported quantities of collected waste, except for the product category mentioned at Article L. 541-10-1, 6° of the Environmental Code.
For financial contribution modulation premiums linked to incorporation of recycled plastic, reported information must include the tonnages of recycled plastic incorporated, broken down by resin and by the premium categories defined in the 5 September 2025 order.
For household packaging, eco-organisations and individual systems must report market placement data in UVC and tonnes, broken down by material, activity sector or subsector, predominant material by weight, and reuse status, distinguishing reused packaging, new reusable packaging, and single-use packaging.
