Ecomaison authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Ecomaison is the multi-stream French eco-organism for furniture (DEA), toys, sports articles, DIY tools, and garden equipment. Its scope has expanded steadily since 2013 to cover most home and leisure goods.
Ecomaison takes back end-of-life household items through dedicated collection points and partnerships with retailers and waste centres. Producers pay a contribution scaled by the type and weight of items put on the market.
Anyone placing furniture, mattresses, bedding, toys, sports equipment, hand tools, garden tools, DIY items, or home decor on the French market. The scope is broad and overlaps several seller categories, so we map your SKUs to the right Ecomaison sub-streams.
- A US toy brand shipping to French Amazon shoppers
- A Chinese sports equipment seller with multi-category catalogue
- A UK furniture brand selling fold-flat items via D2C
What we do for the Ecomaison stream specifically.
A single Ecomaison adherence can cover three of your streams (furniture, toys, sports/DIY), giving you a simpler administrative setup if you sell across categories. We handle the multi-stream declaration in a single ADEME filing.

Frequently asked questions
- Who has to join Ecomaison?
- Any producer placing products covered by Furniture (DEA), Toys, Sports, DIY and garden articles and Construction products and materials (PMCB) 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 Ecomaison 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 Ecomaison 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 Ecomaison's published schedule. We take no percentage and no margin on either of them.
- Is Ecomaison the only option?
- No. On Furniture (DEA), Toys, Sports, DIY and garden articles and Construction products and materials (PMCB), Ecologic, Valdelia, Valobat and Ecominéro 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 Ecomaison'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.
