PRO PRICE COMPARISON

Citeo vs Leko: France packaging EPR fees compared.

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 compared schemes currently publish identical per-kilogram rates in every category they both make public – on price alone there is nothing between them, so minimum fees, packaging scopes and contract terms decide. Gramta compares 10 material rates side by side, reviewed 11 Aug 2026.

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.

4 of the 10 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.

PRO or schemeMinimum and base fees
Citeo110 EUR per consumer sales unit (UVC)
Leko95 EUR using the source-defined unit
Adelphe110 EUR per year
Citeo PRO125 EUR using the source-defined unit

No published minimum or base fee in the current dataset for: Twiice.

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.

Citeo PRO

Official name: Citeo Pro

Publishes too few material rates that overlap with the other schemes for a fair side-by-side.

Twiice

Official name: TWIICE (éco-organisme agréé – filière REP Emballages Professionnels)

Publishes too few material rates that overlap with the other schemes for a fair side-by-side.

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?

On current published rates there is no per-kilogram difference to exploit in France: every directly comparable category is identical between the compared schemes. The decision comes down to minimum and membership fees, packaging scopes and contract terms – all listed above with sources.

Is Citeo cheaper than Leko in France?

On current published rates there is nothing between them: all 4 directly comparable categories are identical. The choice comes down to minimum and membership fees, packaging scopes and contract terms – both schemes' published terms are linked above.

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 review date (11 Aug 2026 for this page). 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.
