Choose an experienced and committed partner

As a producer, you are required to cover the costs of managing the end-of-life of your professional packaging (reuse, sorting, collection, treatment).  

To simplify the management of your obligations, choose CITEO PRO as your partner:
– recognised expertise and the ability to scale up to roll out operational solutions across the whole country,
– a key player at the heart of the sector’s organisation, 
– the ability to operate at a European level to address regulatory changes and market dynamics.

How is your eco-contribution calculated?
The contribution is calculated based on the weight of the materials making up the declared packaging. The more compact, reusable and/or recyclable the packaging is, the lower the contribution.

As a producer, the declaration enables you to calculate the amount of your eco-contribution, monitor the volumes of packaging placed on the market, and identify ways to improve its environmental performance. 

Once your contract with CITEO PRO has been drawn up, there are several steps to be taken in 2026.  

From joining

Provisional declaration 

Please provide an estimate of the types of packaging, volumes and materials placed on the market in France in 2025. This data will be used to calculate your contribution for the second half of 2026, prorated over that period. 

January 2027- February 2027 

2026 placing-on-the-market declaration

Please declare the packaging actually placed on the market in France between 1 July and 31 December 2026. This data will be used to adjust your provisional contribution. 

Mars 2027 

Reuse Reporting 

As part of the monitoring of the sector’s reuse rate, you must report the new reusable packaging, reused packaging and single-use packaging made available within the territory in 2026. 

Inventory
of your business packaging

The scope of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for professional packaging may seem complex.
With your handy Cap Emballages Pro kit, you can identify your professional packaging so that you can accurately record it and gradually organise your data.

Frequently asked questions from producers

The professional packaging sector is set to change from 1 July 2026. 
To remain compliant and continue to benefit from CITEO PRO’s services, you must take out a new contract.
Once your registration is complete, you will have access to a dedicated Customer Portal for managing your professional packaging, featuring tools and services that build on our existing support. 

Specific to each EPR scheme, this will enable the identification of every company or entity registered with an accredited organisation and subject to the principle of EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility).
You do not need to take any action to obtain it from ADEME. 
As soon as you join, we will take the necessary steps to obtain your unique identifier from ADEME and will provide it to you as soon as possible directly via your customer portal. 

Whether you are already a member of CITEO or another Producer Responsability Organisation, if you are subject to the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for commercial packaging, you will also need to join CITEO PRO or an approved eco-organisation to ensure you are compliant. 
If you are already a customer of another subsidiary of the CITEO group (CITEO Household Packaging and Paper, Adelphe or CITEO Care & Hygiene), you will need to re-enter your company details when joining. You will benefit from a streamlined process, designed to make it easier to switch from one EPR scheme to another.
