Cyclamed authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Cyclamed is the approved French eco-organism for unused and expired medicines (médicaments non utilisés, MNU), collected through the pharmacy network. It operates under the cahier des charges set by the arrêté of 29 October 2021.
Cyclamed organises the return of leftover household medicines to pharmacies, which pass them on for secure destruction with energy recovery, keeping medicines out of household bins and the water cycle. Producers of medicines adhere, declare the volumes they place on the French market, and pay an eco-contribution funding the scheme.
Any company placing human medicines on the French market, whether established in France, elsewhere in the EU, or outside the EU. Pharmaceutical laboratories, generics producers and importers of medicinal products are in scope. The trigger is the first placement on the French market, not the seller location.
- A US pharmaceutical company placing OTC medicines on the French market
- An EU generics producer without a French establishment supplying French pharmacies
- A UK laboratory exporting medicinal products to France

We sign the Cyclamed adherence on your behalf, obtain your IDU through ADEME SYDEREP, file the declarations; the eco-contribution itself is set by the eco-organism on its published schedule, and we take no percentage on it. Producer status stays with you; the obligations covered by the mandate are carried by us.
