What does Valipac do for you?
What your working day would look like if Valipac did not exist? For example, you would have to collect your packaging material from all your customers. And have them recycled via a waste collector. And have to insist on receiving your recycling certificates there. Fortunately, Valipac takes over these obligations from you! Being a Valipac client is the guarantee that your company is in compliance with the legislation for commercial and industrial packaging.
Your challenge: fulfilling your obligations as a producer
Your company has become a customer of Valipac because it is subject to extended producer responsibility. All companies that produce packaging waste in Belgium by marketing or importing packaged goods are subject to this responsibility.
The Extended Producer Responsibility requires you to provide proof every year that your company achieves the recycling rates prescribed by the Belgian authorities for all your packaging. This is why you report each year on the quantities of packaging you brought onto the Belgian market.
Our contribution: we relieve you of these obligations
Valipac offers a collective response to the Extended Producer Responsibility.
Thanks to its unique position in the market, Valipac collects data on the quantities of packaging brought into the market by its clients and as well as on the tonnages that are collected and recycled by the affiliated waste collectors.
We compile and process these data and provide the Belgian authorities with an annual report showing that Valipac’s clients collectively meet their legal obligations with regard to industrial packaging.
Your declaration
To delegate your obligations to Valipac, all you have to do is send us a declaration once a year of the packaging for which you are responsible. This declaration needs to be submitted by 28 February.
Looking for help?
In the “How to complete your declaration” module of our new valipac.academy website, you’ll find the answers to all your questions. All the information can also be downloaded from the site in the form of a practical guide.
Your invoice: how much do our services cost?
The amount invoiced to you by Valipac depends on the tonnage and/or type of packaging for which you are responsible. Our business model guarantees unchanged fees that are unaffected by fluctuations in materials markets.
The minimum amount of the financing contribution is set at €50.
| Material | Tariff 2025 (€/tonne) | Tariff 2026 (€/tonne) |
| Recyclable packaging excl. plastic | 20 | 20 |
| Recyclable plastic packaging | 63 | 63 |
| Non-recyclable packaging | 126 | 126 |
| Reusable packaging | 0 | 0 |
The PPWR comes into force on 12 August 2026: the rules for your declaration are changing!
If you are a Valipac customer, the regulation on packaging and packaging waste will soon change the way you have to submit certain information to Valipac.
What will change from 12 August 2026?
- Import of packaged goods
In certain cases, the declaration of packaging waste generated by the import of goods will be transferred to your foreign supplier. This change affects you if you import goods for use or consumption in your business (e.g. raw materials or spare parts).
- Transport packaging in its final form
The declaration of transport packaging in its final form (pallets) will be made by the manufacturer of this packaging when they are established in the same Member State as their customer.
- Export of goods to another EU Member State
When you export goods to a company located in another Member State, you become responsible for declaring the packaging if that company uses the goods in its own production process.
If you have any questions about the specific impact on your company, Valipac is available to assist you.
