  About Fost Plus

  Fost Plus is a non-profit organisation responsible for the selective collection, sorting and recycling of household packaging waste in Belgium. Through promotion, coordination and funding, we implement the circular packaging economy in practical terms. We recycle over 90% of the household packaging on the market every year thanks to the efficient collection of glass, paper-cardboard and PMD.

  Packaging management has evolved firmly in the direction of sustainable materials management. To this end, we work closely with all parties concerned: companies, federations, authorities, municipalities and intermunicipal organisations, collection, sorting and recycling companies and the general public. Fost Plus was established in 1994 on the instigation of the companies and operates in all three regions of the country. Our mission enables us to attain the European objectives for sustainable waste management.
