Our role, fig. 04

What we do for the Valobat stream specifically.

Valobat compliance is paperwork-heavy because the scheme is new. We track the regulatory updates and amend your declarations as the eco-contribution scale evolves. We also handle the segregation of inert versus non-inert materials in the declaration.

We sign the Valobat 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.
