Our services

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a legal and environmental concept that aims to make producers responsible at all stages of the product life cycle, from design to disposal, in order to reduce environmental impact and promote a more sustainable circular economy.

Recydata is the only organisation offering its services for setting up extended producer responsibility systems in Belgium.

Thanks to our close cooperation with Valipac, the Belgian extended producer responsibility organisation for industrial packaging, we have extensive expertise in the waste sector, both household and industrial. We have built up a relationship of trust with all the stakeholders in the waste value chain, from producers to waste collectors to treatment centres. Our close relationships and proven credibility are also recognised by the sector’s federations. Their confidence in us is the result of a close and transparent collaboration, where each party is committed to achieving the highest standards of quality and performance.

Our team of experts is at your disposal to carry out high-level quality controls, such as composition analyses and visual inspections of waste. Our expertise and commitment guarantee that your waste management processes meet the strictest standards.

Why use our services?

Using on-site analyses, we determine the fractions of different waste streams within a heterogeneous fraction or verify the purity of homogeneous fractions.

We take care of:

• Preparatory work to ensure the representativeness of the results
• Planning the various analyses
• Carrying out the analyses
• Reporting

We work with renowned partners such as Valipac, Fostplus and various government institutions. Thanks to our many years of experience in the waste sector, both household and industrial, we have acquired in-depth knowledge that enables us to carry out the most complex quality controls. Our close collaboration with Valipac, the Belgian organisation for extended producer responsibility for industrial packaging, and Fostplus, the organisation for household packaging, is proof of our ability to meet the highest quality and performance standards. We are constantly innovating to improve and adapt our services to the changing needs of our customers and the market.

1) Products subject to new extended producer responsibilities

Belgium is a pioneer in Europe in implementing new EPR obligations (mattresses, textiles, furniture, etc.). These obligations will also come into force in other European countries in the coming years (European legislation).

It would seem logical that companies operating at European level should want to have a central reporting point and uniform reporting across Europe. This is where Recydata comes in, by becoming the independent European administrator of third-party data for products placed on the market.

The possibility of a European declaration system for products placed on the market is currently being discussed with the mattresses, furniture and construction materials sector.

2) Information on product circularity

Databases relating to the circularity of materials are becoming important in the context of the SDGs, CSRD reports, eco-modulation in contributions to EPR organisations, etc.

Recydata, in collaboration with Valipac, wants to develop the current database on the rate of recycled content in industrial packaging so that it becomes the European reference (and is extended to other applications).

“Security“and “confidentiality” are essential to our mission. We draw on many years’ experience in various sectors and have set up a “black box” function based on clearly defined procedures.
