Valdelia authorized representative
for sellers without a French entity.
Valdelia is the specialised eco-organism for professional furniture (B2B office furniture, hospitality, schools), separated from household furniture which falls under Ecomaison.
Valdelia collects, sorts, and recycles end-of-life professional furniture in France. Producers adhere and contribute based on tonnage and item category, with a take-back guarantee for adherent customers when they renew their fleets.
Producers placing professional furniture on the French market: office chairs, conference tables, restaurant seating, school desks, hotel beds. If you sell B2B furniture into France, you adhere to Valdelia, not Ecomaison.

What we do for the Valdelia stream specifically.
We handle Valdelia adherence, IDU filing, and declarations for non-EU producers selling B2B furniture into France. Useful for US contract furniture brands and Chinese office equipment manufacturers exporting to French companies.

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