📑 Overview:

New French environmental legislation, known as the AGEC law, was implemented on January 1st, 2023. The law requires companies who put products on the French market, and are therefore considered importers or marketers under this legislation, to provide anti-waste data points in a ‘product sheet’.

•       Commencing January 1, 2024, it will extend to producers with an annual turnover surpassing 20 million euros and at least 10,000 units of products placed on the French market annually.
