Scope

Citeo is a non-profit active in the field of Extended Producer Responsibility relating to paper and packaging. It works to reduce its environmental impact.
 
Under the Environmental code, producers and distributers are responsible for - and must pay the costs of – dealing with the waste generated by the packaging used by their products. Companies can transfer their responsibility in this area in exchange for paying to join Citeo. The funds thus collected are used to finance the collection, sorting, recycling and reuse of packaging.

Members also have access to support from Citeo's experts, enabling them to apply eco-design principles to paper and packaging, inform their customers about the products' environmental characteristics and plan for the impact of French and European regulations.
