What batteries costs at the eco-organism in 2026.
These are the Ecosystem / Batribox eco-contributions (€/kg (per unit for light-mobility batteries)), paid by the producer to the eco-organism, separate from our mandataire fee. Indicative highlights from the official 2026 barème.
€200 excl. VAT per category, per year. Governing text: arrêté of 27 March 2025 (BAT). We file the declarations that determine this eco-contribution; it is billed to you directly by the eco-organism, with zero margin from us, and we help you optimise it.

How this stream works in France.
The battery stream (BAT) covers portable, automotive and industrial batteries. For foreign e-commerce sellers, the relevant categories are portable batteries (AA, AAA, button cells, 18650) and the cells embedded inside consumer electronics. Two eco-organisms are approved for 2026 under the arrêté of 27 March 2025: Ecosystem, which absorbed Corepile in 2025, and Batribox, the take-back scheme formerly operated by Screlec. A battery-powered product triggers both the WEEE and the battery stream.
