Yes, the waste management contribution is compulsory if you manufacture or import more than 200 mattresses a year. You will be charged the contribution per mattress for the total number of mattresses for which you have invoiced someone or that you have introduced into the Dutch market since 1 January 2022. This applies to everyone to ensure a fair situation. If you register in the system after February 2022, the Mattress Recycling Netherlands (MRN) Foundation will remind you of this obligation. If you do not file anything and do not pay the contribution, a fine will be imposed.
