Want to join developing the circular economy?
This page provides all the information you need for your company to contribute to a local, circular economy for household packaging.
What companies are we looking for?
We are in search of specialised companies and partners for the whole chain, from collection from people’s homes to the final recycling.
COLLECTION. The intermunicipal organisations responsible for waste are authorised by law to collect household packaging waste in their territory. If they do not take care of the collection themselves, they allocate specific assignments to private partners in cooperation with Fost Plus.
SORTING. Five specialised sorting centres sort the household packaging waste collected into homogeneous flows ready for sustainable recycling. We are not actively looking for new partners here at the moment.
RECYCLING. Specialised recycling companies process the materials collected to produce new raw materials for the circular economy. The quote requests go through Fost Plus and are usually issued for each specific type of material. The contract period differs from one assignment to another.
LOGISTICS. Together with our partners, we are also constantly on the lookout for companies that can offer solutions for transport, logistics and storage for the packaging materials collected, sorted and recycled.

Fost Plus currently has an assignment for the acquisition and recycling of selectively collected packaging material. This call for tender, distributed over several lots, concerns the acquisition and effective recycling of:
Paper-Cardboard, collected selectively via door-to-door collections and recycle parks.
Metal packaging (steel and aluminium) and drink cartons, sorted in the PMD sorting centres.
Plastic packaging (PET bottles and flasks, HDPE, PP, PS, PE-films). These comprise domestic packaging material that is collected selectively and is sorted into these different fractions in sorting centres. The bidder must collect the material from the sorting centres and recycle it.
