“l'arrêté du 5 septembre 2025 fixant les ajustements applicables aux contributions financières versées par les producteurs lorsqu'ils incorporent des plastiques recyclés prévoyait un mécanisme d'ajustement des contributions financières des éco-organismes de la filière REP sous la forme d'une prime à l'incorporation de plastiques recyclés, afin de rendre économiquement attractif pour les producteurs de ces produits le recours aux plastiques recyclés par rapport aux matières vierges.”
PRO StructureCompetitive Pros
“les producteurs (fabricants) de ce secteur (par l'intermédiaire des éco-organismes auxquels ils sont affiliés pour remplir leurs obligations) de bénéficier du dispositif incitatif à l'incorporation de plastiques recyclés dans ces contenants, qui existe déjà pour un certain nombre de filières REP.”

TRIS notification 2026/0334/FR — draft technical regulation notified under Directive (EU) 2015/1535 (not yet adopted) Order of concerning containers for oils falling within the extended producer responsibility sector for mineral or synthetic, lubricating or industrial oils, and amending the specifications for the environmental organisations within this sector 1. MSG 001 IND 2026 0334 FR EN 03-07-2026 FR NOTIF 2. France 4. 2026/0334/FR - S10E - Packaging 5. Order of concerning containers for oils falling within the extended producer responsibility sector for mineral or synthetic, lubricating or industrial oils, and amending the specifications for the environmental organisations within this sector 6. containers (packaging) for mineral or synthetic oils, lubricants or industrial oils 7. 8. The purpose of the Order concerning containers for oils falling within the extended producer responsibility sector for mineral or synthetic, lubricating or industrial oils, and amending the specifications for the environmental organisations within this sector is, in particular, to amend the provisions of the Order of 5 September 2025 laying down the adjustments applicable to the financial contributions paid by producers when they incorporate recycled plastics. The latter Order was notified to the European Commission on 4 September 2025 pursuant to Directive 2015/1535 of 9 September 2015. The Order covered by this notification provides for the inclusion of oil containers within the scope of the Order of 5 September 2025 referred to above, so that such packaging may also benefit from the incentive scheme for the incorporation of recycled plastics, which already applies to several EPR sectors (household packaging, chemical products, furniture, electrical and electronic equipment, sports and leisure goods, DIY and garden products, and toys). These provisions are due to come into force on 1 January 2027, so as to allow producers of such packaging to adapt to changes in the regulatory framework. 9. Every year, almost 5 million tonnes of plastics are produced in France, of which just over 10% are produced from recycled materials. In this context, the Order of 5 September 2025 setting out the adjustments applicable to the financial contributions paid by producers when they incorporate recycled plastics provided for a mechanism to adjust the financial contributions of environmental organisations under the EPR sector in the form of a premium for the incorporation of recycled plastics, in order to make the use of recycled plastics economically attractive to producers of these products compared with virgin materials. This Order was notified to the European Commission on 4 September 2025, in accordance with Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical regulations and of rules on Information Society services. It entered into force on 1 January 2026. As part of the extension of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) sector for mineral or synthetic oils – whether lubricating or industrial – to include the containers for these oils, it was deemed appropriate to allow producers (manufacturers) in this sector (through the environmental organisations with which they are affiliated to fulfil their obligations) to benefit from the incentive scheme for the incorporation of recycled plastics in these containers, which already exists for a number of EPR sectors. That is the purpose of the Order relating to containers for oils falling within the extended producer responsibility sector for mineral or synthetic oils, lubricants or industrial oils and amending the specification for environmental organisations in that sector. 9a. The purpose of the Order concerning containers for oils falling within the extended producer responsibility sector for mineral or synthetic, lubricating or industrial oils, and amending the specifications for the environmental organisations within this sector, is, in particular, to extend the scope of the Order of 5 September 2025 laying down the arrangements applicable to the financial contributions paid by producers when they incorporate recycled plastics in oil containers in order for them to benefit from this scheme. These provisions are due to come into force on 1 January 2027, to allow manufacturers of these oil containers to adapt to this regulatory change. The extension of the scope of the Order of 5 September 2025, referred to above, to plastic oil containers represents a small source of waste, estimated at around 5,500 tonnes per year out of a total of 19,160 tonnes of containers for these oils. 9b. The purpose of the Order concerning oil containers in the sector with extended producer responsibility for mineral or synthetic oils, lubricating oils or industrial oils and amending the specifications of the environmental organisations within this sector is, in particular, to extend the scope of the Order of 5 September 2025 laying down the adjustments applicable to the financial contributions paid by producers when they incorporate recycled plastics. As this Order has been notified to the European Commission in accordance with Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015, this Order should therefore also be notified. 9c. The purpose of the Order concerning oil containers in the sector with extended producer responsibility for mineral or synthetic oils, lubricating oils or industrial oils and amending the specifications of the environmental organisations within this sector is, in particular, to extend the scope of the Order of 5 September 2025 laying down the adjustments applicable to the financial contributions paid by producers when they incorporate recycled plastics. As this Order has been notified to the European Commission in accordance with Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015, this Order should therefore also be notified. 10.
