Pyréo
Pyréo (eco-organism for pyrotechnic articles)
Pyréo is the approved French eco-organism for pyrotechnic articles, which form category 1 of the chemical products (PCHIM) stream: fireworks, signalling devices and similar products. It organises their take-back and safe neutralisation at end of life.
Pyréo arranges the collection and safe treatment of unused or expired pyrotechnic articles, which cannot be discarded with ordinary waste because of their explosive content. Producers adhere, declare the articles they place on the French market, and pay an eco-contribution funding the scheme.
Any company placing pyrotechnic articles such as fireworks, firecrackers or marine and automotive signalling devices on the French market, whether established in France, elsewhere in the EU, or outside the EU. The trigger is the first placement on the French market, not the seller location.
We act as your French authorized representative under Article 8a §5 of Directive 2008/98/EC for the pyrotechnics stream. We sign the Pyréo adherence on your behalf, obtain your IDU through ADEME SYDEREP, file the declarations and pay the eco-contribution. You stay the producer; we handle the paperwork.
