In addition to the help that OVAM offers via EcoWerf to have asbestos collected and processed free of charge, IGO (also with the support of OVAM) has been offering a bonus for group purchases since September 2022 for the removal of very dangerous loose or non-bonded asbestos applications.
The bonus applies to the removal of non-bonded asbestos in pipe insulation (such as in certain insulation around heating pipes) and floors.
It is best to first have an asbestos expert come by who can confirm the presence of asbestos via lab tested samples of the pipe insulation and/or floors. You will also receive support for this. For each sample taken and tested, IGO offers a discount of 90% on the invoice (capped at 139,5€). If it is indeed confirmed that your pipe insulation or floors contain asbestos, you are eligible - through a group purchase - for a 50% discount on the invoice for the removal of asbestos in your floors or in pipe insulation. This is also capped. The bonus applies to invoices of a maximum amount of 4,000€ each, and 6,000€ for the removal of pipe insulation containing asbestos in apartment buildings. You can register here. Please note: owners who are required by law to have an asbestos certificate drawn up are NOT eligible for this bonus.
