Packaging waste management contribution

Recycling and waste management are priority topics for the EU. The coming years there will be a shift towards extended producer responsibility and recycling of waste. Since July 2021 there has been a ban on plastic plates, cutlery, stirrers and straws. And as of January 1st, 2023, two things will be added: The Packaging waste management contribution and the SUP-raise. These additional costs can be found on our website as Mandatory Environmental Taks.

This mandatory environmental tax will make some of our packaging a bit more expensive. We will explain what this means for you.

Mandatory Environmental Taks

The Packaging waste management contribution, or the Mandatory Environmental Tax as we call it, has different rates, depending on the type of material.

So in short: the more recyclable the products are, the lower the contribution. Good for the environment, also nice for your wallet!

SUP-raise

A lot of waste ends up in the environment. To prevent this, a SUP-raise will be added from the first of January. The SUP (Single Use Plastic) raise applies to single-use food packaging, partly or entirely made of plastic.

For all packaging that falls under the SUP legislation, there is an extra surcharge of € 2.30 per 1,000 pieces.
