Cyclevia authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Cyclevia is the approved French eco-organism for lubricating and industrial oils (LUB). Its agrément follows the arrêté of 27 October 2021, and it manages the collection and regeneration of used oils across France.
Cyclevia organises the free collection of used oils from garages, industrial sites and collection points, then directs them to regeneration or energy recovery. Producers adhere, declare the volumes of lubricants they place on the French market, and pay an eco-contribution funding the collection and treatment scheme.
Any company placing lubricating or industrial oils on the French market, whether established in France, elsewhere in the EU, or outside the EU: engine oils, hydraulic fluids, greases and comparable products sold under your brand. The trigger is the first placement on the French market, not the seller location.
- A US motor-oil brand selling on French automotive platforms
- A Chinese industrial-lubricant manufacturer supplying French factories
- An EU lubricants producer without a French establishment shipping to France
What we do for the Cyclevia stream specifically.
We act as your French authorized representative under Article 8a §5 of Directive 2008/98/EC for the lubricants stream. We sign the Cyclevia 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.

Frequently asked questions
- Who has to join Cyclevia?
- Any producer placing products covered by Lubricating and industrial oils (LUB) on the French market, whatever the country it is established in, with no minimum volume. The producer is the first company placing the goods on that market: for a distance sale to a French consumer, that is the seller, not the carrier and not the marketplace.
- Can I join Cyclevia without a French company?
- Not directly. A producer with no establishment in France goes through a France-established mandataire, compulsory since 10 July 2026 under Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the Code de l'environnement. The representative signs the membership in the producer's name, then ADEME publishes the IDU within 2 to 3 weeks.
- What does Cyclevia membership cost?
- Two separate amounts. The membership fee runs from EUR 0 to 450 a year depending on the stream. The eco-contribution depends on what you place on the market and follows Cyclevia's published schedule. We take no percentage and no margin on either of them.
- What do I declare once I have joined?
- The volumes you placed on the market the previous year, in the unit that stream uses, on Cyclevia's own calendar. That declaration sets the eco-contribution you owe. A producer joining late regularises the earlier years in which it placed products on the market.
