Step 1 of 4

Product categories sold in France *

Select every product category you sell in France. Each category is a separate EPR stream with its own registration.

Our fee starts at €190/year excl. VAT per stream. Your volumes size your eco-contributions and the refundable deposit; above EUR 1,000 of eco-contribution per stream, they also count in our annual fee. You receive a fixed written quote within one business day.

We work in English and French, in writing, and reply within one business day (Paris time).

What happens after you sign

  1. 1

    Written quote within one business day

    You describe your products, channels and volumes. We qualify each product (stream, eco-organisation, category) and send a fixed written quote.

  2. 2

    Mandate signed online

    You sign the written mandate required by Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the French Environmental Code. One mandate covers all your French streams.

  3. 3

    Invoice and deposit

    We invoice the setup and the declaration campaign, payable by bank transfer in euros. The refundable security deposit is paid by a separate bank transfer in euros to our dedicated account.

  4. 4

    Membership within two business days

    We file your membership or designation with each eco-organisation within two business days of receiving payment.

  5. 5

    Your identifier

    The identifier (IDU) is issued on the eco-organisation’s own timing, listed below.

Our invoices are issued and paid in euros, by bank transfer. The refundable security deposit is paid by a separate bank transfer to our dedicated account.

When your identifier is issued

  • Citeo (household packaging): about seven business days after the membership is validated.
  • Léko (household packaging): about five business days after the initial Léko invoice is paid; that invoice must be paid within five business days, otherwise the membership is cancelled.
  • Ecosystem (electronics, batteries): the identifier is issued after the first declaration has been filed and paid.
  • Refashion (textiles, footwear): after membership, the signed contract and the first declaration with its payment, then about ten business days.
  • Professional packaging (EPRO: Citeo Pro, Léko Pro, Twiice): registration open now, eco-contributions from 1 January 2027.

Documents we ask for

A closed list, the same as a membership without a representative:

  • Exact company name and registered address
  • Registration number and tax identifier
  • Company register extract less than three months old
  • Name and position of the signatory, and proof of authority (the extract or a written delegation)
  • Product scope
  • Volumes per stream, and for the three previous years if you already sell in France
  • Date of your first sale in France

  • Who imports the goods and who owns them when they enter France
  • Identifiers and memberships you already hold
  • Billing contact, and phone numbers with international prefix for the contact and the signatory
  • Acceptance of the deposit
  • A bank document

We never ask for an identity document.

We work in English and French, in writing, and reply within one business day (Paris time).

Deposit account, eco-contribution invoicing and our company identity: how we handle your money.

Fixed annual fee per stream, from €190/year excl. VAT: your exact number arrives in a written quote within one business day. Eco-contributions are set by the eco-organisations, and we take no percentage on them.

Written quote within one business day. Your progress is saved if you need to finish later.

What you fill in

The form adapts to what you sell. Most applicants finish in under 3 minutes.

If you have no establishment in France, appointing a France-established representative has been compulsory since 10 July 2026 under Article L. 541-10-9-1 of the French Environment Code, whether you are based inside the European Union or outside it. Already hold an eco-organism membership with no representative on file? It no longer satisfies the statute on its own, and regularising is a file update that need not cost you your IDU. See our breakdown of law n° 2026-602.

01

Product categories

Tick the categories you sell in France and give an approximate yearly volume for each. Each one is quoted as a separate line in your written quote.

02

Company details

Whether you are established in France, legal name, country. Registration and VAT numbers optional at this stage.

03

Products and sales

Brand, products, sales channels, current marketplace status.

04

Contacts

Name, email and phone of the contact and of the mandate signatory. We reply within one business day.

Before you apply

Do I have to know which streams apply to me?

No. List your products in the form, we map them to the right streams. We will confirm the exact scope in our reply within one business day.

Do I have to pay now?

No. The form is informational only. We send a detailed quote within one business day after review. Service starts once the mandate is signed and the first invoice and deposit are received.

What if I do not yet sell in France but plan to?

Apply anyway. Registration is due from your first sale in France, so we prepare your file to have you registered before that sale.

My company is established in France. Can I use this form?

We represent producers not established in France. A French company can register directly with the eco-organisation.

Is the data I provide secure?

Yes. The form is sent over HTTPS and used only to prepare your quote. We do not run marketing lists. You can request deletion at any time. See our privacy policy.
