In 2025, Fost Plus continued to implement its 2024\u20132028 accreditation while progressing with work on new provisions.<\/p>\n
In this context, the standard tender specifications for the collection of household hazardous waste, which were drawn up by Fost Plus and the Joint Committee in 2024, were approved by the IRPC in 2025.<\/p>\n
Work on drafting specifications for EPS waste streams and cork, which began in 2024, continued into 2025.<\/p>\n
Fost Plus presented the \u201cprevention and reuse\u201d and \u201ceco-design\u201d action programmes and the \u201cout-of-home\u201d action plan at the end of 2024 and these were then discussed in depth at meetings between Fost Plus and the IRPC. As set out in the accreditation, Fost Plus opted to combine the \u201cprevention\u201d action programme with the \u201creuse\u201d action plan. The IRPC finally approved the action programmes at the end of 2025. <\/p>\n
Fost Plus has also continued to implement its action plan on gas cylinders, which aims to address the issue of single-use canisters, particularly those containing nitrous oxide. In 2025, as part of this, Fost Plus developed a web platform that centralises sorting instructions for various types of gas cylinders. The platform is due to go live in 2026 and will guide users towards appropriate solutions. <\/p>\n
The ad hoc working group, composed of Fost Plus and the municipalities or intermunicipalities that use their own staff and equipment, continued developing its calculation model for internal operational costs in 2025.<\/p>\n
Finally, regarding the eco-modulation of Green Dot rates, the \u201cmaterials\u201d working group, which was originally tasked with establishing the relevant rules for Belgium, was suspended at the end of 2025. Since its objective will now be addressed by the PPWR, which will set out the rules on modulating the financial contributions to be paid by producers, it is no longer necessary to pursue this work in its current format. <\/p>\n

The expanded blue bag has been used throughout Belgium since the end of 2021. Since 2023 this bag has been sorted into a minimum of 16 fractions in brand-new sorting plants, with the aim of ensuring recycling of the highest possible quality. The new sorting facilities came into operation in 2021 and 2022. <\/p>\n
The fractions concerned are:<\/p>\n
