The 2021 rate for recycling household packaging The guide Not binding for informational purposes only
Recycling, reuse
and valorization -
100% solutions
for your packaging.
By offering companies solutions to ensure that 100% of their packaging can be reused,
recycled or recovered, Citeo has been at their service for more than 25 years helping
them limit their environmental impact. Your Citeo contribution is thus used towards
financing the collection and sorting of your packaging with a view to recycling,
accélérateur de to support you in your eco-design efforts and developing new consumption methods
such as reuse
The increase in the end-of-life cost of household packaging is due mainly to
two effects:
• Sorting has become more a part of the French people’s way of life, and with
extension of sorting guidelines across the nation, the recycling of your packaging is
growing. This results in an increase in operating expenses and thus a mechanically
higher contribution.
• The “Loi Anti-Gaspillage et pour l’Economie Circulaire”, for
which all regulatory provisions have not yet been defined, also
entrusts businesses with new responsibilities, through their
accredited companies, which give rise to additional costs
Citeo has calculated the changes in its rate*, taking these parameters
into account, and fully aware of the uncertain economic environment.
You can count on Citeo’s teams to support you in your eco-design
approaches to limit environmental impact of your packaging and limit
the financial impact of your contribution.
The purpose of the 2021 guide is to explain the 2021 rate for recycling
of household packaging. It is not contractually binding. View the 2021

the basic definitions of recyclable packaging
What is recyclable packaging? • THE RATES encourage the use of packaging with mature and sustainable recycling channels.
• BONUS/PENALTY encourages to avoid the presence of disturbances and to gain in circularity by integrating
Packaging is said to be recyclable if it —from as early as now— is able to enter a recycling channel, recycled material and/or encouraging sorting.
