Chemical products (DDS)
Required for diffuse-use chemical products sold to French consumers: paints, solvents, adhesives, aerosols, cleaning products, fire extinguishers.
Three tiers, anchored on EcoDDS's small-producer regime.
For small producers. Eligibility: < 5 tonnes. Mono-filière only.
For mid-market producers. Full service, multi-stream discount applies. Up to 50 tonnes/year before bumping to Volume.
For high-volume producers: > 50 tonnes/year. Priority queue on declarations + audit support included.
EcoDDS / Ecopae / Pyréo, tonnage-based contribution, ~90 € estimated floor. Eco-contributions are billed by the eco-organism directly (not by us) and scale with your declared tonnage or units. Our fee is the mandataire service only, no markup on the eco-contribution itself.
What chemicals costs at the eco-organism in 2026.
These are the EcoDDS / Ecopae / Pyréo eco-contributions (per unit), paid by the producer to the eco-organism — separate from our mandataire fee. Indicative highlights from the official 2026 barème.
Ecopae: eco-design criteria can lower the rate to €1.50/unit. Pyréo: -10% for >=20% recycled-material incorporation. EcoDDS runs the diffuse chemicals categories (3-10) via its member area.
Governing text: arrêté of 1 October 2021 (PCHIM). We file the declaration and pay this for you, with no markup on the eco-contribution.

How this stream works in France.
The PCHIM stream (produits chimiques, "déchets diffus spécifiques") covers household chemical products whose residues and packaging are hazardous: paints and coatings, solvents, adhesives and resins, aerosols, biocides and pool chemicals, plus specific sub-categories run by dedicated eco-organisms — portable fire extinguishers under Ecopae (category 2) and pyrotechnic articles under Pyréo (category 1). EcoDDS is the historic operator for the diffuse chemicals categories (3 to 10). Governing cahier des charges: arrêté of 1 October 2021.
