The Public Waste Agency of Flanders (OVAM) is the principal authority in the Belgian region of Flanders for sustainable management of waste, materials and soils. Together with citizens, companies and fellow governments OVAM has turned Flanders into a leading region when it comes to the sustainable management of waste, materials and soils in the last several decades. To maintain this leading position, OVAM is now moving up a gear, by expanding the circular economy in Flanders, in which a sustainable management of waste, materials and soil provides new resources, materials and space.
