Pyréo authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Pyréo is the approved French eco-organism for pyrotechnic articles, which form category 1 of the chemical products (PCHIM) stream: fireworks, signalling devices and similar products. It organises their take-back and safe neutralisation at end of life.
Pyréo arranges the collection and safe treatment of unused or expired pyrotechnic articles, which cannot be discarded with ordinary waste because of their explosive content. Producers adhere, declare the articles they place on the French market, and pay an eco-contribution funding the scheme.
Any company placing pyrotechnic articles such as fireworks, firecrackers or marine and automotive signalling devices on the French market, whether established in France, elsewhere in the EU, or outside the EU. The trigger is the first placement on the French market, not the seller location.
- A Chinese fireworks manufacturer exporting to French distributors
- A US signalling-device brand selling marine flares into France
- An EU pyrotechnics producer without a French establishment supplying French retailers
What we do for the Pyréo stream specifically.
We act as your French authorized representative under Article 8a §5 of Directive 2008/98/EC for the pyrotechnics stream. We sign the Pyréo 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.
