Graphic paper EPR compliance on ManoMano.

Non-EU sellers placing printed graphic paper on ManoMano need a France-established mandataire REP, registration with Citeo, Léko, and an IDU on the public SYDEREP register before listings stay live. This page covers exactly what ManoMano requires for the printed graphic paper stream and how we deliver it.

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 ManoMano enforces the printed graphic paper requirement

EPR verification at seller onboarding + category expansion. DIY, sports, garden, furniture all checked.

The verification flow: ManoMano 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 ManoMano

Location: ManoMano back office → Compliance settings.

Recovery time after upload: 48-72 hours after IDU upload.

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 ManoMano seller record (string comparison is character-for-character on stricter platforms), or uploading before SYDEREP publication completes.

Cost of printed graphic paper EPR for ManoMano 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.
Eco-contribution: €0.04-€0.10/kg of printed paper above de-minimis threshold. Scales with your declared tonnage in the annual declaration filed by 28 February.

ManoMano 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.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need French printed graphic paper EPR if I only sell on ManoMano?

Yes. The producer obligation under Article L. 541-10 II of the Code de l'environnement triggers on placing products on the French market, regardless of channel. ManoMano performs marketplace verification against the public ADEME SYDEREP register. No valid IDU on the printed graphic paper stream means listing deactivation.

What does printed graphic paper EPR cost on ManoMano?

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 — ManoMano 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.
