Graphic paper
Required for printed paper distributed in France: catalogs, magazines, books in some cases, advertising prints.
Three tiers, anchored on Citeo'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.
Pas de forfait éco-org officiel, contribution au tonnage. 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 paper costs at the eco-organism in 2026.
These are the Citeo / Léko eco-contributions (€/tonne (printed graphic paper ≤ 224 g/m²)), paid by the producer to the eco-organism, separate from our mandataire fee. Indicative highlights from the official 2026 barème.
Recycled-fibre bonus -10% (>=50% recycled fibre); +100% penalty for non-renewable, non-sustainably-managed fibre; recyclability penalties for disruptors (inks, coatings, inserts).
Producers under 5 tonnes/yr are exempt. Governing text: arrêté of 7 December 2023 (EMPAP). 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.
