In the new accreditation (which came into force on 01/01/2008), the Interregional Packaging Commission required that VAL-I-PAC should NO LONGER pay incentives to industrial unpackers which could not prove that, as responsible for packaging, they were complying with the provisions of the Cooperation Agreement. Consequently, these companies no longer receive incentives from VAL-I-PAC.
