Ursula Denison will represent and introduce the PRO Green Dot (Der Grüne Punkt) from Germany. “Der Grüne Punkt” was founded in 1990 as the first system to implement the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging in Germany. As the first system of its kind worldwide, it has been providing nationwide collection of used sales packages and obtains raw materials for the closed-cycle economy. Today Der Grüne Punkt does not only offer compliance service to producers, but is also active in consulting on packaging recyclability, international compliance and use of recyclates in packaging. It also has invested in infrastructure – a highly automated sorting plant for light weight packaging as well as two plastic recycling plants for PP and LDPE from household collection.
