For Belgium some data can be found with [https://statbel.fgov.be/nl/themas/leefmilieu/afval-en-vervuiling/verpakkingsafval Statbel] (dutch). The industry is represented by [https://www.fostplus.be/ Fostplus]. [https://www.pack4recycling.be/nl Recyclability test]. The most recent numbers can be found on [http://com.fostplus.be/activiteitenverslag2019nl/welkom/ 2019]. or [https://www.ovam.be/sites/default/files/atoms/files/20201210_rapport_huishoudelijk_afval_en_gelijkaardige_bedrijfsafval_2019_0.pdf here], [https://www.fostplus.be/nl/pers/belgie-een-europese-voorloper-de-creatie-van-een-circulaire-verpakkingseconomie here].
