Alcome, contribution on quantities placed on the market. 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 tobacco costs at the eco-organism in 2026.
These are the Alcome eco-contributions (per thousand units placed on the market), paid by the producer to the eco-organism — separate from our mandataire fee. Indicative highlights from the official 2026 barème.
-50% bonus for filters that contain no plastic. Abatement on the first 50 million units.
Governing text: arrêté of 23 November 2022 (TABAC). We file the declaration and pay this for you, with no markup on the eco-contribution.

How this stream works in France.
The TABAC stream addresses the litter from tobacco product filters containing plastic. Alcome is the sole approved eco-organism, funding street-cleaning, public ashtrays and awareness campaigns for local authorities. Producers contribute based on quantities placed on the market. Cahier des charges: arrêté of 23 November 2022. Tobacco manufacturers and importers placing product on the French market are in scope.
