Eco-contributions

Studies, optimizes and secures your eco-contributions

What are the eco-contributions?

The eco-contribution also called eco-participation is the annual financial compensation paid by a company (producer, distributor, or importer) to a certified eco-organization (ex. CITEO, EcoSystem...) for the management of the disposal of waste generated by its activities pursuant to an Extended Producer Responsibility sector (EPR). Every year, the Producers have to complete and submit their declarations to eco-organizations for each type of waste concerned (packaging, electrical and electronic equipments, graphic papers, furniture, used textile ...). The amount of the eco-contributions is generally added to the selling price of the product and sometimes appears visibly (e.g.: WEEE or furniture eco-participations). The principle of the “Extended Producer Responsibility” (EPR) comes from the European principle of "polluter pays" transposed in France in 1992 with the creation of the household packaging waste sector and the first eco-organization: Eco-Emballages (today CITEO).

Why do you optimize your eco-contributions?

The proliferation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) devices , the complexity of systems as well as the increasing financial weight of contributions, make it necessary the perfect control of these costs in your company to ensure the good performance of your products on the market and the costs equity.

Every company is generally concerned by several EPR devices according to its activity (Producer and/or Distributor, Distributor and/or Importer) and the type of product marketed. A producer will generally be concerned with 3 or 4 separate contributions and for a Distributor up to 14! "A real gasworks" some will say.

Thus, the same company will have to establish several complex eco-declarations, transverse and sometimes lacking of consistency, which makes it difficult a perfect understanding of the methodology for your teams – little or no training about these issues – and they lack of time to ensure the checking of the information multiplicity requested to your company.

And if your company doesn’t fulfill on time or forgets some information in their eco-declarations, it is exposed to financial penalties.

In 2013, more than 1,3 billion Euros were paid to eco-organisms by companies in respect of their EPR for the products intended to households or professionals. However, the process can be simplified and these costs can be optimized and reduced.
