Fost Plus

Towards a circular economy

Fost Plus organises and finances the selective collection, sorting and recycling of household packaging. To this end, an efficient ecosystem has been built in which each party plays its part: packaged products manufacturers, municipalities and intermunicipalities that set up the service for the citizen, private and public waste operators, sorting and recycling centres, local and regional authorities and, of course, the citizen.

Fost Plus ensures that everyone can work together in the best possible way and that the collected materials are recycled in the highest possible quality. By offering a recycling solution for every packaging item on the market, we realise the circular economy for household packaging.

Within that framework, we are working with Living Tomorrow on innovations that will enable us to collect more packaging for recycling wherever it arises and process it in the most cost-efficient way using digital tools.

It is fundamental for an organisation like Fost Plus to keep innovating. Packaging and the way society deals with packaging is ever evolving. These evolutions have an impact on how we recycle and organise the recycling chain. Living Tomorrow helps us to identify the major trends of tomorrow so that we can adapt our operations to them today.
