As part of our ongoing drive to improve sorting performance, and following an evaluation of our incentive scheme, we are introducing more targeted financial incentives to encourage changes in sorting behaviour by businesses.
The new incentives will apply from the reference year 2025 and will be paid in 2026.
WHAT’S NEW
Starter incentive for selective containers
To encourage the adoption of selective sorting, Valipac is offering a one-off starter incentive to businesses that use a selective container for the first time to sort their commercial and industrial packaging waste. This incentive, totaling €450, is spread over three years: €200 in the first year, €150 in the second and €100 in the third;
Starter incentive for Plastic Sorting Bags
Valipac specifically encourages the sorting of small quantities of plastic packaging waste (film, expanded polystyrene, strapping) by offering a one-off starter incentive of €50 for the purchase of collection bags. This incentive is awarded per type of plastic collected. A company can therefore benefit from an incentive of up to €150.
Annual Bonus for Small Wheelie Bins
Companies that hire selective containers with a capacity of between 660 and 999 litres can benefit from an annual incentive of €50 per container. The incentive is calculated on a pro rata basis according to the number of days the container is used.
Apart from this incentive for small wheelie bins, no more annual container incentives will be awarded.
WHAT’S NOT
CHANGING
Sorting Bag incentives
This incentive is designed to encourage the selective collection of small quantities of plastic and amounts to €0.50 per bag purchased, with a maximum of 500 bags per site per year. It can be combined with the plastic recycling incentive.
Recycling incentive
Calculated per ton of waste sorted and recycled, this incentive rewards the recycling of plastic, wood and metal C&I packaging waste. The amounts are
- €10/ton for wood (except for pallet repair),
- €30/ton for plastic
- €10/ ton for metal.

The Valipac Incentive Scheme actively encourages companies to adopt responsible sorting and recycling practices. By offering financial incentives for the use of containers and sorting bags to stimulate the recycling of C&I packaging waste, Valipac contributes to the creation of a more sustainable circular economy in Belgium.
