VALORFRIT reimburses the municipalities for the costs <strong>of</strong> using the infrastructure at<br />

the CA sites, and for the processing <strong>of</strong> this oil afterwards.<br />

Companies that produce animal and vegetable fats and oils (like hotels, restaurants,<br />

hospitals etc.) can contact any collector <strong>of</strong>ficially accredited by the government for the<br />

collection <strong>of</strong> this material. Companies and operators are not bound by obligations<br />

imposed by VALORFRIT, they merely have to follow the existing legislation on waste<br />

animal and vegetable fats and oils. There is no reimbursement for the producers to<br />

cover the collection costs.<br />

VALORFRIT reports the percentages <strong>of</strong> collection and <strong>of</strong> useful use to OVAM.<br />

15.5.1.1 Environmental Benefits <strong>of</strong> Prevention<br />

In 2007, collection yields <strong>of</strong> domestic packaging waste remained high. Around 63 kg<br />

<strong>of</strong> packaging were collected per capita (116 kg per capita when taking the whole<br />

waste paper segment into account). Except for a very slight decrease in arisings <strong>of</strong><br />

Plastiek- Metaal- en Drankverpakkingen(PMD), which is plastic packaging, metal<br />

packaging and composed beverage packaging (tetrabrick etc), quantities collected<br />

per material remained almost identical: 15 kg for PMD, 30 kg for glass and 70 kg for<br />

paper-cardboard (including non-packaging). 292<br />
