OVAM is a Flemish government service that ensures that waste, materials and soil are dealt with in a well-considered and environmentally-conscious manner in Flanders. They give direction to the policy on waste, materials and soil and thus influence the implementation of legislation.
They protect the soil by monitoring soil quality in Flanders, preventing contamination and carrying out soil decontamination on their own initiative.
They help families and companies to avoid waste and to sort it correctly. Together with all Flemings, they work on a circular economy in order to maximise the life span and reuse of products and raw materials.
