Ecologic authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Ecologic is the second approved eco-organism for WEEE in France, alongside Ecosystem. Functionally similar scope, sometimes preferred by industrial producers and specific verticals.
Ecologic collects, sorts, and recycles end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment for adherent producers. Operates a specific take-back network with a focus on B2B equipment and lighter household electronics.
Same trigger as Ecosystem: producers of EEE placing products on the French market. The choice between Ecosystem and Ecologic is contractual, not legal. You adhere to one.

- A Chinese lighting brand specialised in commercial fixtures

Frequently asked questions
- Who has to join Ecologic?
- Any producer placing products covered by Electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and Sports, DIY and garden articles 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 Ecologic 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 Ecologic 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 Ecologic's published schedule. We take no percentage and no margin on either of them.
- Is Ecologic the only option?
- No. On Electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and Sports, DIY and garden articles, Ecosystem, Ecomaison, Valobat and Soren are also state-accredited. Joining any one of them satisfies the obligation, and the choice belongs to the producer. They differ on their published schedule, their declaration format and their eco-modulations, not on the legal cover they provide.
- 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 Ecologic'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.
