Léko
Léko is an eco-organization approved by the French State in charge of managing, on behalf of companies which produce or import packaged products on French territory, their Extended Producer Responsibility, for the management of household packaging. As such, Léko is authorized to collect eco-contributions from these companies called “Producers” in proportion to the quantities of packaging placed on the French market each year (article L541-10 of the environmental code).
The amounts collected by Léko contribute to financing the prevention, collection, sorting, reuse and recycling of this packaging.

Renewed confidence in Léko
On February 9, 2023, the EPR inter-sector commission(CiFREP), made up of representatives of marketers, local authorities, consumer and environmental protection organizations, organizations representing the social economy, waste operators and public authorities, voted overwhelmingly (74%) in favor of extending Léko's authorization to manage the household packaging sector.
Prevention: new obligations on re-use and planning
5% of packaging reused by 2023 and 10% by 2027! The new Decree of April 8, 2022 defines the minimum proportion of reused packaging to be placed on the market annually in France, defines reused packaging and specifies the producers concerned. The minimum proportions apply from January 1, 2023.
Léko, partner of the Annual Packaging Conference
This one-day conference is organized every year by Emballages Magazines and hosted by Henri Saporta, the magazine's Editor-in-Chief. As a partner of the event, Léko organized the round table: "The eco-organization at the service of the packaging circular economy", with speakers from a representative panel of stakeholders in the household packaging value chain.
New environmental decree
The Decree1, published on April 29, 2022, specifies the application of good consumer information, by producers and importers, on the qualities and environmental characteristics of waste-generating products.
Draft regulation in the European Union
The packaging sector is about to undergo a Europe-wide overhaul. As part of the Green Pact for Europe initiated in 2019, the European Commission presented a draft Packaging Regulation on December 1, 2022, repealing the former Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste.

The aim of the deposit is simple: to reuse packaging rather than throw it away. Whether the deposit is accompanied by an additional sum to be paid when purchasing a product, which is recovered as soon as the packaging is returned to the store, or not, the aim is to wash the packaging before refilling it. Goodbye to single-use packaging!
Prepare yourself with Léko for the regulatory changes of 2023!
From 2023, producers with sales of over €50 million in France will have to market at least 5% reusable packaging. In general, 2023 will be a decisive year for the launch of reuse projects, with the aim of achieving the 10% target by 2027 for all companies. From 2023 onwards, Léko will devote 5% of its contributions to this goal.
New sorting signs for household packaging: information and deadlines
Since the end of 2021, producers and brands of household products have been invited to change the sorting instructions on their packaging. Indeed, the "throw away" instructions are no longer appropriate in most of France. From now on, ALL household packaging must be sorted, either in the traditional "yellow bins", or in the glass bins.
