Fost Plus

Enterprises

Fost Plus turns efficient packaging management into sustainable materials management through collecting and recycling household packaging waste, making a significant contribution to a more sustainable waste policy and a better environment.

We don’t do this alone, of course. Our activities involve many different partners: citizens first, but also government, municipalities, intermunicipal waste collection companies, sorting centers and waste management companies, as well as our members - the companies who produce the packaging.

 All companies producing household packaging for the Belgian market must join Fost Plus. Here, you can find out if this includes your company, what your legal obligations are and how to meet them. You can also discover how to become a member and what we can do for your company.

Together, we turn efficient packaging management into sustainable resource management.

Our mission

Our mission statement clearly and concisely expresses the goals of our organisation: to make an important contribution to a more sustainable waste management and a better environment by collecting and recycling household packaging.

• Together. Numerous players are involved in our activities: the national, regional and local authorities, the intermunicipal companies, sorting centres and waste companies, the companies that bring packaged products onto the market and, of course, everyone living in Belgium. Close consultation and good cooperation are crucial to this process.

• Efficient packaging management. Our goal is to achieve the efficient collection and recycling of packaging. We raise public awareness regarding the importance of correct sorting, we help municipalities and intermunicipal companies to collect the materials as efficiently as possible, and we offer our advice to companies to help them improve the recyclability of their packaging.

• Sustainable resource management. The recycling of household packaging reduces the emission of greenhouse gases and avoids the use of primary raw materials which are becoming ever scarcer. Through our activities, we are contributing to a genuine circular economy, in which materials are used in a sustainable manner.
