Amount

Valumat provides financial compensation for professional users who have mattresses collected by a collector homologated by Valumat. For practical reasons, the amount is calculated on the basis of the collected tonnage (550 €/ton). This equates to approx. 8 € per mattress.

Valumat determines this fixed amount annually depending on the market conditions for collection, transport and processing.

How do you apply for compensation?

You don't have to do anything yourself. It is your collector who annually forwards your data to Valumat. You log into our website with your unique code that you received from Valumat in April of the year following the year of collection and Valumat takes care of the payment of your fee.

When will you receive your compensation?

The fees related to collections in 2022 will be paid by Valumat in 2023.

For your accounting

The Valumat financial compensation is free of VAT. You do not have to send invoices and you do not receive a credit note. You book your financial compensation on a 74-account (other operating income).
