Eco-organism dossier, Adelphe

Adelphe authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.

Adelphe is an 85% subsidiary of Citeo (the remaining 15% is held by AFED and MVS, the French wine and spirits professional associations). It serves specific industries with their own packaging eco-organism: wine and spirits producers, pharmaceutical companies, and a few smaller verticals.

What Adelphe does, fig. 02

Adelphe operates the same scheme as Citeo (collection, sorting, recycling) but with tailored eco-contribution rates and reporting templates adapted to its industries. Wine bottles, pharma blisters, and the specific regulatory regime around these products are accommodated.

Who must register, fig. 03

Wine, spirits, and pharma producers placing their products on the French market, whether from France, the United States, or any other country. If you fall into these verticals, Adelphe is typically your adhering eco-organism, not Citeo directly.

We handle the Adelphe-specific adherence and declarations on your behalf; the eco-contribution itself is set by the eco-organism on its published schedule, and we take no percentage on it. The compliance package is identical to Citeo from your side: a fixed annual fee confirmed in a written quote within one business day, IDU in 2 to 3 weeks, ongoing management.
