The obligations set out in European Waste Directive 2008/98/EC of 19 November 2008 have now been transposed into French law.
​
To this effect, the recent French AGEC (Anti-waste and Circular Economy) Law n° 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 introduced a new extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme applicable to mineral, synthetic or industrial oils and lubricants, as from 1 January 2022.
​
In light of this, the French Professional Lubricants Centre (CPL) took the initiative to create a producer responsibility organization alongside companies wishing to take part. This organization’s mission is to take responsibility for collecting and treating waste oils on behalf of producers.
​
CYCLEVIA was created on 1 October 2021 and obtained six-year government approval on 24 February 2022, thereby becoming the industry’s producer responsibility organization.
CYCLEVIA?
WHY WAS CREATED
A COLLECTIVE
OF SHAREHOLDERS
CYCLEVIA is a private, non-profit company stemming from:
​
-
Oil companies who are members of UFIP Energies et Mobiliités, (French Union of Oil Industries)
-
Grease industrials who are members of the Chambre Syndicale Nationale de l'Industrie des Lubrifiants (CSNIL – The French Union of Lubricant Industries)
-
Non-affiliated companies who are members of the Centre Professionel des Lubrifiants (CPL – the French Professional Lubricants Centre)
When the company was created, 22 companies joined forces to set up an Extended Producer Responsibility scheme. They account for 80% of the French lubricants market.
To meet their legal obligations, these companies chose to create a “financial” EPR scheme for an initial three-year period, with a model that covers costs related to collection, transportation, regeneration and recycling. This solution is well suited to the scheme’s particularities and protects the industry’s competitive structure.​​
​
​
Still within the framework of its obligations, CYCLEVIA will change to become a “combined” EPR scheme in 2025. The producer responsibility organization, which up to now has financially contributed to operations and offered operators an “open house” approach, will also support collection and regeneration operations for a part of waste oils.

ARE YOU
A MARKETER?
Are you marketing mineral oils on the French market as a manufacturer, importer, reseller, or private-label purchaser of mineral oils or equipment containing mineral oils? It is your responsibility to join an eco-organization.
​
As a marketer (also called a "producer"), the AGEC law makes you responsible for the products you introduce onto the French market and the waste they generate once they reach the end of their life cycle. To manage this waste, marketers most often have the choice of joining a collective structure or implementing an individual system. In the case of our EPR sector, and due to the very nature of its products, a collective structure is essential.
