Nederlands term
kosten van de afschrijving van de investering
Nederlands naar Engels
Zakelijk / financieel
Financieel-economisch (algemeen)
cost of writing off an investment
This refers to sorting packaging waste:
Voor de sortering in regie omvat de totale en reële kost enerzijds de sorteerkosten en anderzijds de **kosten van de afschrijving van de investering**. De afschrijvingstermijn wordt vastgelegd op 9 jaar, behoudens akkoord tussen partijen over een andere formule.
I'm not sure of the best phrasing. Last time I translated a similar phrase, I used "investment depreciation costs", but now I'm starting to doubt myself. Amortisation, payback, write-off? I'm no financial expert!

investment depreciation costs
Amortization typically applies to intangible assets and wouldn't be correct in this context. Payback refers to the time it takes to recover an investment and doesn't relate directly to the ongoing costs of depreciation. Write-off is used when an asset's value is reduced to zero, which is not applicable here as the term involves gradual depreciation.
Your initial translation of investment depreciation costs is indeed correct.
Depreciated cost is the remaining cost of an asset after reducing the asset's original cost by the accumulated depreciation...

Comment: "I suspect this refers to equipment, so a tangible asset. Thanks for the confirmation (and to Kitty for the useful links)!"

(capital cost) investment amortis/zation expenses
Note
1. as a rule of thumb, amortis/zation is otherwise routinely used for intangibles = intangible assets, like intellectual prperty and depreciation *charges* aka capital writing-down allowances for tangibles = tangible, fixed assets like plant, machinery & equipment
2. 'Amortization is an accounting method for spreading out the costs for the use of a long-term asset over the expected period the long-term asset will provide value.'
3. medium CL / cinfidence level for my non-core Dutch lingo, rather than the subject thereof.
