Invitation webcast Fost Plus and KIDV Sustainable packaging beyond borders The packaging system in Belgium vs the Netherlands Fost Plus and The Netherlands Institute for Sustainable Packaging (KIDV) invite you to the webcast ‘Sustainable packaging beyond borders – The packaging system in Belgium vs. the Netherlands’ on the 2nd of December 2021 from 3 to 5pm. The production and sales of packed products and the recycling of packaging waste are not limited by national borders. Yet different rules and systems apply in each country, which results in questions for companies. There is a need for more clarity. During this webcast, we will give you an overview of how the packaging chain works in the Netherlands and Belgium. What are the similarities and what are the differences and why? How is design-for-recycling stimulated in both countries? And how can we work together to improve the sustainability of packaging and help companies move forward? What are the long-term expectations in terms of sorting and recycling of packaging?
