On 27 May 2025, Normec OWS proudly celebrated 25 years of collaboration with Fost Plus, a milestone reflecting long-standing trust and shared commitment to sustainable waste management in Belgium.
For a quarter of a century, the partnership has focused on independent waste inspections, supporting the monitoring and evaluation of household packaging waste streams. These inspections play a crucial role in maintaining quality standards, improving sorting performance, and ensuring that collected materials can be effectively recycled.
Belgium consistently ranks among Europe’s top performers in packaging recycling, and strong cooperation between organisations like Normec OWS and Fost Plus contributes to this success. Reliable, science-based assessments help optimise collection systems and strengthen confidence across the recycling value chain.
This 25-year milestone highlights not only operational excellence, but also a shared vision: improving waste sorting quality and advancing the transition toward a more circular economy through collaboration and transparency.
