As a producer, brand or retailer selling clothing, household linen or footwear (CHF), you might have questions about your legal obligations
As a producer, brand or retailer selling clothing, household linen or footwear (CHF), you might have questions about your legal obligations.
The eco-fee is far more than just a formality. It plays an essential role in financing the prevention and management for end-of-life textiles and footwear products. It is also a way to support the transition to a circular economy.Find out everything you need to know about declaring and paying your eco-fee here!
The principle in short
Every year, you pay eco-fee to Refashion. This contribution finances the prevention and management actions associated with your products that have become waste (ecodesign, repairing, collecting, sorting, recycling, reusing, etc.). As a result, we are able to meet regulatory targets and support the textiles and footwear industry in its transition towards a circular economy.
In other words: your contribution drives our combined efforts to move the industry forward.
How are eco-fees calculated?
Needs assessment
Every year, Refashion assesses the funding requirements to fulfil its mission.Based on this, an amount is fixed with our board of directors and approved by the government. This is called “the eco-fee call for funds”.
Calculating eco-contributions
The call for funds is calculated as follows:
Estimation of volumes placed on the market x Current eco-fee scale
+ Administrative costs
+ ADEME fees (based on decree)
Tip
When making your declaration, always check the eco-fee scale for the year in question.
