About Us
The operational alliance supporting your EPR schemes
As EPR grows more complex, Eco-Op meets the challenge with a new model of operational alliance between producer responsibility organisations, designed to support producers throughout the life cycle of their products. Built on three core strengths: support, resource pooling and innovation, Eco-Op is helping shape a more transparent, efficient and effective EPR system for the circular economy of the future.
Eco-Op unites three complementary producer responsibility organisations operating across the strategic sectors of mobility, energy, leisure and DIY, from eco-design and repair to reuse and recycling.
Founded in 1999 and approved by the French authorities, Batribox is a leading producer responsibility organisation for the collection and recycling of batteries in France. It supports companies placing portable batteries, SLI batteries, light means of transport batteries, industrial batteries and electric vehicle batteries on the market, helping them meet their legal obligations while promoting sorting, eco-design and reuse.
Ecologic is a producer responsibility organisation approved by the French authorities to manage three national EPR schemes for the prevention and recycling of end-of-life products: electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), sports and leisure goods (ASL), and DIY and gardening equipment, specifically the thermal equipment segment (ABJ Th).
Soren is the producer responsibility organisation dedicated to the energy transition. It is approved by the French authorities for the collection and treatment of end-of-life photovoltaic panels in France.
Eco-Op’s three main missions
Simplify and streamline

Simplifying the management of products covered by multiple EPR schemes
Electric bicycle collection across EPR schemes
Batribox and Ecologic have jointly launched a pilot programme to provide a shared collection and recycling service for end-of-life electric bicycles, a product covered by several EPR schemes.
Reducing administrative burden and improving efficiency
Shared member audits
The producer responsibility organisations jointly carry out mandatory audits to harmonise practices and reduce the burden on their members.
