Bonuses for sorting industrial packaging

For the sorting of your industrial packaging, you can accumulate up to 4 bonuses:

– the start-up bonus
– the container bonus
– the recycling bonus
– the bag bonus

The start-up bonus

This bonus rewards companies that use a wheeled bin or a fixed container for the first time to sort their packaging waste and that have never benefited from Valipac’s bonuses before.

Why?
This bonus is a “helping hand” to encourage companies to take a sorting approach.

How much?
A one-off bonus of €100

How?
It is granted only once per company number.

It is in addition to the container bonus and the recycling bonus, which are recurring bonuses.
The container bonus

This bonus is for companies that use containers for the sorting and removal of their industrial packaging waste.

Why?
This bonus is an incentive to continue the efforts made.

How much?
The bonus takes the form of a flat-rate contribution to the cost of hiring your containers. The amount depends on the type and number of containers used.

How?
The container premium applies to all types of industrial packaging waste.
It is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the number of days the container is made available/leased.

Amount of container bonuses
The recycling bonus

This bonus concerns companies that sort

– wooden packaging waste (chipboard, non-repairable pallets or pallet waste, boxes) which will benefit from material recycling (chipboard, composting, chips for playgrounds)

– industrial plastic packaging (large plastic films)

– plastic strapping (PET/PP).

Why?
This bonus stimulates sorting in companies, to allow better recycling of certain waste streams.

How much?
The bonus takes the form of a lump sum payment per tonne of waste sent for recycling.

How?
The recycling bonus is calculated per tonne. It can be combined with the container bonus.
– Wooden packaging waste:
10 €/tonne

– Industrial plastic packaging waste:
30 €/tonne

– Plastic strapping waste:
50 €/tonne

The bag bonus for
small quantities

In order to stimulate the selective collection of small quantities of plastic (film, EPS, strapping), Valipac has set up a “bags” bonus.
The amount of this bonus is €0.50 per bag purchased.
This bonus can be cumulated with the recycling bonus.
For each bag used, you will receive

– a bag bonus (for plastic films, this bonus is limited to a maximum of 500 bags per site and per year)

– a recycling bonus for the materials in the bag. This is calculated on the basis of a theoretical average weight per 100 litres of waste: 2.5 kg/100 litres for plastic film, 0.75 kg/100 litres for EPS and 2.5 kg/100 litres for strapping.
