Construction products and materials (PMCB)
Required for construction products and building materials sold to French professionals or consumers.
Three tiers, anchored on Valobat's small-producer regime.
For small producers. Eligibility: < 100 tonnes, OU CA France < €2M (régime simplifié Valobat). Mono-filière only.
For mid-market producers. Full service, multi-stream discount applies. Up to 500 tonnes/year before bumping to Volume.
For high-volume producers: > 500 tonnes/year. Priority queue on declarations + audit support included.
Valobat €80 minimum administratif annuel. 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 construction (pmcb) costs at the eco-organism in 2026.
These are the Ecominéro / Valobat / Valdelia eco-contributions (€/tonne (ready-mix concrete in €/m³)), paid by the producer to the eco-organism, separate from our mandataire fee. Indicative highlights from the official 2026 barème.
Reduced rates by recyclability class (R0-R7) and for fired-clay products incorporating >=10% clay waste.
Governing text: arrêté of 10 June 2022 (PMCB). 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.
PMCB (produits et matériaux de construction du bâtiment) is one of the largest and most complex EPR streams, launched in 2023. It splits into category 1, inert mineral materials (concrete, tiles, bricks, ceramics) handled by Ecominéro and Valobat, and category 2, non-inert materials (wood, gypsum, insulation, metals, glass, plastics) handled by Valobat, Ecomaison and Valdelia.
