PRO PRICE COMPARISON

Compare France packaging EPR fees: 4 PROs side by side.

Published per-kilogram rates from every comparable France scheme in one view – same material, same published scope, each figure linked to its source.

In France, the PRO you register with changes the bill. For steel and other metals (professional, commercial and industrial packaging), Leko charges 0.0051 EUR per kilogram while Twiice charges 0.024 EUR – 367% more for the same category. Gramta compares 17 like-for-like material rates across 4 schemes; the dataset was updated 24 Aug 2026.

Biggest published differences

The largest like-for-like gaps in the current dataset – same material family, same published scope, and one scheme cheaper on every published tier.

Rates side by side, by material

Each row is one material family in one published scope – scopes are never mixed. Where a scheme prices several tiers of the same family (colour, recyclability, format), the cell shows its range; expand the row to see every underlying sourced line. An empty cell means that scheme publishes no comparable rate there.

5 of the 17 rows below could not be compared: only one scheme publishes a rate for that material and scope, so it is shown for completeness rather than ranked.

“Lowest” marks the scheme that is cheaper on every published tier of that category, at the precision shown. Ties and mixed results get no marker.

All France rates and calculatorAll EU PRO comparisons and how to choose

What does the PRO choice cost for your mix?

Add the materials you place on the market and a yearly weight for each. Gramta multiplies every scheme's current published rate, so you see the yearly difference in real money – not per-kilogram abstractions.

Add a material and a yearly weight to see each scheme's total.

Minimum and base fees

Minimum, membership and base fees apply on top of (or instead of) per-kilogram rates, and they are comparable across every scheme regardless of tariff structure. Terms differ – some are annual, some one-off – so check each source.

Head-to-head comparisons

A focused two-column comparison for each pair of France schemes.

Not in this table – and why

These France schemes are in the dataset but can't sit in a per-kilogram comparison without misleading you. Every one of their published lines is on the France fee page with its source.

Adelphe

Prices per sales unit, package or transaction rather than per kilogram, so its rates can't sit in a per-kg row.

Choosing the PRO is the easy part

The comparison above is one country, one year, per-kilogram rates only. Filing for real means classifying every product's packaging, applying minimums and modulation, and repeating it for every country you sell into – every year.

  • You owe fees in every EU country you ship to, not just one.
  • Every product's packaging has to be weighed and sorted by material.
  • There are extra fixed fees, minimums, and higher rates for hard-to-recycle packaging.
  • And it has to be filed accurately, on time, every single year.

You don't have to do this by hand

Send us your sales and your packaging details once. Gramta works out the fees for every country you sell in and keeps each report up to date and ready to file.

France PRO comparison questions

Which packaging PRO is cheapest in France?

No scheme is cheapest for every material, so it depends on your mix. Across 12 directly comparable categories, Leko charges the lowest rate most often (5 of 12 categories). Check the rows above against your own packaging, then the minimum fees – a low per-kilogram rate can be outweighed by a higher minimum.

Can I just register with the cheapest PRO in France?

Usually you can choose, but not on the per-kilogram rate alone. Schemes differ in packaging scopes, minimum and membership fees, eco-modulation tiers and contract terms, and some only accept certain packaging streams. Use the comparison to shortlist, then confirm scope and total cost against the scheme's own tariff – every rate here links to it.

Where do these comparison figures come from?

Every rate is a published tariff line from the scheme itself, held in Gramta's sourced fee dataset with its effective period and checked date (dataset updated 24 Aug 2026). Nothing is averaged or estimated: identical material families in identical published scopes are placed side by side, and anything not like-for-like is excluded and explained above.
