When the portable and industrial batteries stream applies

Loose battery cells, batteries embedded in devices, portable or stationary

The relevant eco-organisms for this stream are Batribox, Ecosystem (Corepile merged into Ecosystem in 2025). Producers register with one (or more, for streams with multiple accredited eco-organisms) via the France-established mandataire REP. Each registration produces an IDU (Unique Producer ID) that ADEME publishes on the SYDEREP register.

How Fnac / Darty Marketplace enforces the portable and industrial batteries requirement

Verification at onboarding + annual audits. Can suspend without notice.

The verification flow: Fnac / Darty Marketplace queries SYDEREP for an IDU matching your legal entity on the portable and industrial batteries stream. If no match, your listings are flagged and the marketplace either prevents listing creation (for stricter platforms) or deactivates existing listings (for periodic-audit platforms).

Uploading your IDU to Fnac / Darty Marketplace

Location: Fnac / Darty Marketplace seller back office.

Recovery time after upload: Variable, typically 3-7 business days.

Common upload mistakes: pasting the IDU in the wrong stream field (e.g., a Batteries IDU pasted in another stream's row), legal name mismatch between SYDEREP and Fnac / Darty Marketplace seller record (string comparison is character-for-character on stricter platforms), or uploading before SYDEREP publication completes.

Cost of portable and industrial batteries EPR for Fnac / Darty Marketplace sellers

Representative fee (us): a fixed annual fee per stream, from €190/year excluding VAT, confirmed in a written quote within one business day. The fee depends on the stream's declaration regime (flat-fee, simplified or itemised) and on your number of product references, not on your sales volume. A one-time setup per stream and a refundable security deposit are stated in the quote. See our pricing.
Eco-organism membership (Batribox): typically €80-€450/year, set by the eco-organism and separate from our fee; we take no percentage and no markup on it.
Eco-contribution: €0.30-€2.00/kg depending on chemistry (Li-ion higher). Set by the eco-organism on its published barème, with no percentage taken by us; scales with your declared tonnage in the annual declaration filed by 28 February.

Fnac / Darty Marketplace does not charge a separate EPR fee on top of registration, they only verify compliance. For sellers without a valid IDU, unregistered sellers face listing deactivation rather than alternative billing.

What does portable and industrial batteries EPR cost on Fnac / Darty Marketplace?

Three layers: (1) representative fee, a fixed annual fee per stream from €190/year excl. VAT, confirmed in a written quote within one business day; it depends on the stream's declaration regime (flat-fee, simplified or itemised) and your number of product references, not on your sales volume, and a one-time setup per stream plus a refundable security deposit are stated in the quote; (2) eco-organism membership with Batribox, Ecosystem (Corepile merged into Ecosystem in 2025), typically €80-€450/year; (3) eco-contribution, €0.30-€2.00/kg depending on chemistry (Li-ion higher), set by the eco-organism on its published barème. Layers 2 and 3 sit outside our fee, and we take no percentage and no margin on either. The marketplace itself does not charge for compliance, Fnac / Darty Marketplace only verifies your registration status.

Can I register only for portable and industrial batteries, or do I need to register for other streams too?

Depends on your catalog. A pure portable and industrial batteries producer registers only that stream. Most non-EU consumer brands trigger multiple streams, e.g., a Bluetooth speaker triggers packaging + WEEE + batteries. Use our scope-check tool at /tools/scope-check for a 90-second verdict.
