Ecosystem is the main eco-organism for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in France, covering household and professional EEE collection and recycling.

What Ecosystem does, fig. 02

Ecosystem operates the largest WEEE collection network in France, processing over 600,000 tonnes per year. Producers adhere, pay an eco-contribution per category of equipment placed on the market, and receive collection and recycling reports.

Our role, fig. 04

What we do for the Ecosystem stream specifically.

We act as your French representative for the WEEE stream: adherence signed, IDU obtained, periodic declarations; the eco-contribution itself is set by the eco-organism on its published schedule, and we take no percentage on it. We also handle the marking and reporting obligations specific to EEE, such as the visible eco-contribution display on B2B invoices.

Need to register with Ecosystem without a French entity?

We sign the Ecosystem adherence in your name, obtain your IDU from ADEME in 2 to 3 weeks, and file your declarations. Fixed annual fee from €190/year excl. VAT per stream, confirmed in a written quote within one business day.
