Ecologic

What Ecologic does

Ecologic is a non-profit eco-organization (éco-organisme à but non lucratif) approved by the French state, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Guyancourt, France. It manages three national Extended Producer Responsibility (REP) schemes on behalf of producers and manufacturers placing products on the French market: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (DEEE), Sports and Leisure Articles (ASL), and Thermal DIY and Garden Articles (ABJth). The organization collects, depollutes, recycles, and supports reuse of end-of-life products, with all collected WEEE processed within the European Union. Reported scale includes more than 40 million devices collected annually and 226,228 tonnes of electrical waste processed since January 2026.

Ecologic's revenue model is funded by eco-contributions paid by producers and manufacturers, with rates published annually in barèmes and visible on consumer products. The organization operates a multi-channel go-to-market approach combining producer adherence programs (via Unique Identification Number registration), in-store collection at major retail partners (Castorama, Decathlon, Leroy Merlin), municipal recycling centers, workplace services (WEeeTRI), the e-dechet.com professional platform, and proximity collection events co-organized with social economy partners (Emmaüs, Envie, Ressourceries). It also administers repair subsidy programs (Bonus Réparation, €25-€90 per repair) and innovation funding (Match Retour, up to €200K over two years). Daikin is a disclosed shareholder, and René-Louis Perrier serves as President.

The technical platform consists of operational tools including a real-time collection data dashboard tracking tonnage and recycling valorization, an online professional waste management portal (e-dechet.com), and an innovation challenge platform. Ecologic holds AFNOR ISO 9001 Environment certification and operates active stakeholder committees for each of its three schemes. Strategic partnerships extend into adjacent verticals including micro-mobility (with Screlec and FPMM), professional equipment reemployment (with Vesto and Electrolux Professional), and industry labeling (VALO RESTO PRO with SYNEG).
