Declaration guide
Commercial and industrial packaging made from recycled material benefits your business and the environment. To promote the use of them among its clients, Valipac has introduced a bonus. Do you want to find out more about commercial and industrial packaging made from recycled material? Visit our platform My Recycled Content.
From 1 January 2022 on, you will receive as a Valipac client a bonus of €50 per tonne of recycled material used in your commercial and industrial plastic packaging. This bonus only applies to commercial and industrial packaging that:
- contain at least 30% post-consumer recyclate (PCR),
- originate from suppliers registered on myrecycledcontent.be
- are used between 1 January and 31 December to put your products on the Belgian market.
How to obtain the bonus?
The bonus is paid as a discount on the invoice amount. In order to calculate the amount, you will have to report the commercial and industrial plastic packaging containing PCR and put on the Belgian market, separately in your declaration.
Example: your company has purchased shrink hoods containing 50% of PCR. The total weight of the hoods is 20 tonnes. 60% of this packaging is used for the Belgian market, 40% for export. Your bonus will amount to: 20 tonnes x 60% = 12 tonnes, of which 50% PCR = 6 tonnes x €50 = €300.
Note: If the packaging contains 30% PCR, but you use less than 200 kg of PCR annually, you will receive a fixed bonus of €10. From an annual use of 201 kg of PCR, the bonus is calculated according to the example above.
