Who has to join Pyréo?

Any producer placing products covered by Chemical products (DDS) 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 Pyréo without a French company?

Not directly. A producer with no establishment in France must appoint a representative established in France, compulsory since 10 July 2026 under Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the French Environmental Code. For Pyréo, we confirm availability with your quote.

What does Pyréo 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 Pyréo's published schedule. Your eco-contributions stay invoiced to you and paid by you directly to the eco-organisation. We take no percentage and no margin on either of them.

Is Pyréo the only option?

No. On Chemical products (DDS), EcoDDS and Ecopae 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.

Eco-organism dossier, Pyréo

What Pyréo does, fig. 02

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.

Who must register, fig. 03

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.

You remain the producer. Under the written mandate required by Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the French Environmental Code, we take charge of and answer for your registration, your identifier, your declarations, the exchanges with the eco-organisation and audits, and the archiving of your files. Your eco-contributions stay invoiced to you and paid by you directly to the eco-organisation. For pyrotechnic articles, we prepare and file the Pyréo declarations; the eco-contribution is set on its published schedule, and we take no percentage on it. We currently register clients with Citeo, Léko and Léko Pro, Ecosystem (electrical equipment, lamps, batteries), Twiice, Refashion, Ecomaison and Valobat. For the other approved eco-organisations, we confirm availability with your quote.
