Revenue model

1. Extended Producer Responsibility Contributions: Valipac charges Belgian companies annual financing contributions based on the weight and type of industrial packaging they place on the Belgian market. Fees are structured per material type (recyclable plastic, non-recyclable plastic, other recyclable materials, reusable). The organization uses these funds to manage recycling obligations, conduct audits, and pay incentives.

Core offering

Valipac is a non-profit Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) organization that helps Belgian companies comply with industrial packaging legislation. It sells compliance services including annual packaging declarations, recycling certificate management, packaging diagnostics, traceability systems, and financial incentives for proper waste sorting and recycling. Clients access these services through online portals (MyDeclaration and MyCertificate) and a network of affiliated waste collectors.

Product overview

Valipac operates as an extended producer responsibility (EPR) organization for industrial packaging in Belgium, offering a unified service platform rather than a traditional software product. The core offering centers on compliance management through client portals (MyDeclaration for annual declarations and MyCertificate for recycling certificates), supplemented by specialized services including Clean Site System for construction sector waste, packaging diagnostics, and financial incentive programs (recycled content bonuses, local recycling bonuses). The Ik sorteer in mijn bedrijf platform provides additional waste sorting guidance. Together these services help companies meet Belgian and EU packaging regulations including the PPWR.

Direct peers

• Ecoembes: Spain's primary EPR organization for packaging, managing lightweight and industrial packaging recovery. Operates a comparable non-profit model with similar fee structures and recycling-rate compliance obligations.
• Duales System Deutschland (Grüner Punkt): Germany's flagship EPR organization for sales packaging, operated by Der Grüne Punkt. Comparable to Valipac as a non-profit/limited-profit EPR entity managing mandated packaging compliance for thousands of companies, with similar recycling-rate targets.
• Citeo: France's leading EPR organization for household packaging, also extended to certain industrial streams. Citeo is a comparable non-profit EPR scheme operating fee-based financing for packaging recycling with similar compliance portal infrastructure.
• Fost Plus: Belgian EPR organization for household packaging. Fost Plus manages the consumer-side packaging compliance while Valipac manages the industrial side—both are Belgian non-profit EPR schemes with analogous fee-based models and shared clients, and they cooperate on packaging diagnostics.
• CONAI: Italy's national packaging consortium (Consorzio Nazionale Imballaggi) and one of Europe's most established EPR systems. CONAI operates a fee-based model across multiple material streams and is structurally analogous to Valipac in scale and function.

Others

• SGS SA: Global testing, inspection, and certification company that serves as Valipac's audit partner for international recycler verification. SGS enables Valipac's traceability claims and could be considered an enabling service provider rather than a competitor.

Regional players

• ARA (Altstoff Recycling Austria): Austria's leading packaging EPR organization with a comparable non-profit, member-based model. ARA provides licensing, reporting, and recycling services for packaging—highly analogous to Valipac's service portfolio and customer engagement model.
• Afvalfonds Verpakkingen: Netherlands' EPR organization for packaging, operating a similar fee-per-ton model and managing national packaging recycling targets. Operates in the same regulatory neighborhood (EU PPWR scope) and serves as a useful cross-border benchmark for Valipac's pricing and recycling performance.
• REKOMA / Swiss Recycling: Swiss packaging recycling coordination body. While structured differently (umbrella organization), it serves the same function of coordinating industry-funded packaging recycling and could provide geographic expansion reference points for Valipac.

Emerging players

• RecyClass: Industry-managed cross-European certification scheme for plastic recyclability. Valipac offers financial incentives for recyclers certified under RecyClass, and the platform represents an emerging data and standards layer that complements or could partially compete with EPR schemes.
