Built for non-resident businesses placing packaged products on the Belgian market.
2 schemes
Household packaging and industrial packaging are separate approved schemes. The split follows who receives the packaging, not the material.
300 kg
Below 300 kg of packaging a year there is no obligation to join a scheme. The information obligation is unaffected.
28 Feb
The member declaration is due each 28 February for packaging placed on the Belgian market in the previous calendar year.
3 streams
Packaging, electrical equipment and batteries keep separate schemes, classifications and evidence.
Sources reviewed 19 August 2026: Fost Plus Guide and rates for 2026 · Interregional EPR Commission guidance · packaging-marking guidance · applicable EU regulations. Live sources are rechecked before an operational commitment.
Each service separates public guidance, working assumptions and decisions controlled by Fost Plus, a public register, a collective system or another third party.
Service — packaging EPR
Map the packaging responsible, prepare Fost Plus membership, choose a declaration method and maintain packaging evidence for sales into Belgium.
View service →Service — representation
Review whether a Belgian authorised representative is required and prepare a written mandate, without confusing it with tax representation or scheme membership.
View service →Service — registration
Establish producer status, choose between collective and direct registration, and retain the registration number with its date.
View service →Service — industrial packaging
Identify business-bound transport packaging, join the industrial scheme and quantify any retroactive years before committing.
View service →Service — marking
Inventory the marking on your packaging, plan the removal of the Green Dot symbol before February 2027 and stage the later harmonised requirements.
View service →The scope check separates marketplace, own-shop, end-user and Belgian reseller routes before drawing a conclusion.
Run the scope checkThe platform technique does not decide Article 45(3). Review the Fost Plus route and whether a producer in another EU Member State first makes products available in Belgium directly to the end user.
Two controlsArticle 45(3) covers producer profiles 3(15)(c) and (d) when a producer established in another EU Member State first makes products available in Belgium directly to the end user; distance contracts are included, not the only route.
Representative reviewCurrent Fost Plus guidance and PPWR must be separated; any Belgian PPWR national choice requires primary evidence.
Human reviewDistinguish this route from direct making available to an end user. The Belgian importer normally handles packaging contribution when it imports for resale, subject to the contracts and flow.
Contract checkEach sales route is mapped separately before an application, mandate or filing decision.
