When the printed graphic paper stream applies

Printed catalogs, magazines, advertising mailings distributed in France

The relevant eco-organisms for this stream are Citeo, Léko. 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 printed graphic paper 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 printed graphic paper 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 Graphic paper 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 printed graphic paper EPR for Fnac / Darty Marketplace sellers

Representative fee (us): €490 one-time setup + €249/month — totals €2,988/year for the printed graphic paper stream excluding VAT. See our published pricing.
Eco-organism membership (Citeo): typically €80-€450/year. Paid directly by you to the eco-organism; no markup from us.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need French printed graphic paper EPR if I only sell on Fnac / Darty Marketplace?

What does printed graphic paper EPR cost on Fnac / Darty Marketplace?

Three layers: (1) representative fee — our flat published rate is €490 setup + €249/month per stream; (2) eco-organism membership with Citeo, Léko — typically €80-€450/year; (3) eco-contribution — €0.04-€0.10/kg of printed paper above de-minimis threshold. The marketplace itself does not charge for compliance — Fnac / Darty Marketplace only verifies your registration status.

Can I register only for printed graphic paper, or do I need to register for other streams too?

Depends on your catalog. A pure printed graphic paper 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.
