Sport & Leisure Products in France

Difficult quantity reporting processes

Contact us for help with UIN registration in France.

The French anti-waste law or circular economy law AGEC (loi anti-gaspillage pour une économie circulaire) obliges the legally defined producer to collect and process the waste generated by its products at the end of their life cycle.

What is a UIN?

With Article L541-10-13 of Law No 2020-105 of 10 February 2020, which entered into force on 2 January 2022, the French government has decided to issue a Unique Identification Number to each producer placing certain products on the French market.
The UIN is issued for each waste stream subject to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in France.
Therefore, if you are considered a producer of the product categories concerned under French law, you must comply with this regulation and register.

Do I have to apply for a UIN?

Anyone who is considered a producer under French law is subject to registration and notification, so must register in order to obtain a UIN number.
