NL: Packaging Waste Management Contribution 2018 announced

In the September newsletter, the Netherlands Packaging Waste Fund (Afvalfonds) has announced the Packaging Waste Management Contribution (PWMC) for 2018. Producers and importers of more than 50,000 kg of packaging must register and pay a contribution.
The Packaging Waste Management Contribution covers the costs of implementing the Packaging Agreement, and consists of two components. The first component is the main costs per material for collecting and processing, and for acquiring a guarantee from recycling companies that they will use the collected materials. The second component is the system costs: the prevention of litter, monitoring and organizational costs.
