Tyval authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Tyval is an approved French eco-organism for the tyre (PNEU) stream, one of the operators producers can choose to meet their end-of-life tyre obligations in France.
Tyval organises the collection and recovery of used tyres and directs them to reuse, recycling or energy recovery. Producers adhere, declare the tyres they place on the French market, and pay an eco-contribution funding the collection and treatment network.
Any company placing tyres on the French market, whether established in France, elsewhere in the EU, or outside the EU, whether the tyres are sold on their own or fitted to vehicles. The trigger is the first placement on the French market, not the seller location.
- A Chinese tyre manufacturer comparing tyre eco-organisms for French compliance
- A US performance-tyre brand selling to French distributors
- An EU tyre producer without a French establishment supplying French garages
What we do for the Tyval stream specifically.
We act as your French authorized representative under Article 8a §5 of Directive 2008/98/EC for the tyre stream. If Tyval is the best fit, we sign the Tyval 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. The choice between Aliapur, France Recyclage Pneumatiques and Tyval is contractual, not legal, and we are eco-organism-neutral.

Frequently asked questions
- Who has to join Tyval?
- Any producer placing products covered by Tyres (PNEU) 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 Tyval 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 Tyval 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 Tyval's published schedule. We take no percentage and no margin on either of them.
- Is Tyval the only option?
- No. On Tyres (PNEU), Aliapur and France Recyclage Pneumatiques 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 Tyval'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.
