Frequently asked questions
Who puts the Triman logo on the packaging?
It has to be on household packaging placed on the French market. We print it with the Info-tri block on your retail packaging when you tell us the goods are for France.
Are hand tools and garden tools covered by an EPR scheme?
Yes. DIY and garden goods, such as hand tools and manual garden tools, have had their own EPR scheme since 2022, while power tools and electric garden tools fall under the WEEE scheme. Check the exact product list and fees with the approved eco-organisation.
Do I need a unique identifier?
If you are the producer under an EPR scheme in France, yes: ADEME issues one per scheme. When you buy from us and sell in France, you are usually that producer.
When should we order for the French spring season?
Garden buying for spring runs in January–March, with sell-through from March to June. For imported and own-brand lines, place the order by October–November, because factory holidays in late January–February stop production for several weeks.
Do you sell to French consumers?
No. We supply businesses only.
