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): 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 (Citeo): 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: €0.04-€0.10/kg of printed paper above de-minimis threshold. 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.

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.

How does ManoMano enforce the printed graphic paper EPR requirement?

Where do I upload my printed graphic paper IDU on ManoMano?

What does printed graphic paper EPR cost on ManoMano?

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 Citeo, Léko, typically €80-€450/year; (3) eco-contribution, €0.04-€0.10/kg of printed paper above de-minimis threshold, 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, 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.
