Léko
Léko SAS
Léko is the second approved eco-organism for household packaging and graphic paper in France, set up as a producer-owned alternative to Citeo. Smaller market share but identical legal scope and IDU eligibility.
Léko collects eco-contributions from adherent producers, pools them into the French selective collection scheme, and reports to ADEME. Functionally interchangeable with Citeo for compliance purposes, sometimes preferred by producers with high recycled-content packaging because of the eco-modulation bonus structure.
Same trigger as Citeo: any producer placing packaged consumer goods on the French market, regardless of where the company is established. You choose either Citeo or Léko (not both) for the packaging stream.
If you prefer Léko over Citeo, we sign the Léko adherence on your behalf, obtain your IDU from ADEME, file declarations, and pay contributions. The switch between Citeo and Léko is a contractual choice, not a legal one, and we advise on whichever fits your packaging profile best.
