Belgium’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework requires businesses placing packaged products on the Belgian market to fulfil applicable packaging waste prevention, recycling, financing and reporting obligations.
Estimate your annual Belgian packaging compliance costs with our Belgium Packaging Calculator. Enter your packaging quantities by material category to calculate estimated recycling contributions and applicable service fees.
Belgium’s packaging compliance system distinguishes between household packaging, commonly managed through Fost Plus, and industrial or commercial packaging, commonly managed through Valipac. Your applicable contributions depend on the packaging type, material and quantities.
Businesses selling packaged products through Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Temu and other online marketplaces may have Belgian packaging EPR obligations. Understand your responsibilities when supplying packaged goods to customers in Belgium.
Foreign businesses placing packaged products on the Belgian market should assess their producer responsibility, registration and reporting requirements. Complico helps international sellers understand the applicable Belgian packaging compliance process.
Identify the relevant packaging materials for your products, including paper and cardboard, plastic, glass, steel, aluminium, wood and composite materials. Accurate classification helps you estimate contributions and prepare the required declarations.
Maintain accurate records of the packaging you place on the Belgian market. Calculate the kilograms for each material category and distinguish between household and industrial or commercial packaging to support accurate reporting.
Packaging compliance continues after registration. Review your annual packaging quantities, maintain accurate records, pay applicable contributions and complete the relevant declarations to support ongoing compliance in Belgium.
