5.2. Payments to unpackers by Valipac in 2024
In 2024 Valipac reported on the payment of incentives for 2023.
In all, 45,050 certificates were approved for 2023, representing a total amount of EUR 8.30 million. Not all of the approved certificates are actually paid out, as a large proportion of the bonuses approved by Valipac are not claimed by the unpackers concerned. The amount paid out for 2023 was EUR 5.08 million.
Each year, Valipac also monitors the distribution of bonuses between the different business sectors.
Half of the bonuses paid out go to unpackers with fewer than 50 employees (very small SMEs with fewer than 10 employees + SMEs). In contrast, large companies (with more than 200 employees) receive 32% of the bonuses based on just 5,0% of the certificates.
