Green Dot
ERP offers a Green Dot licence to our members.
The Green Dot is a symbol widely recognised in many European countries, signifying that for each piece of packaging, a financial contribution has been made to a national packaging recovery organisation.
In the UK, the Green Dot is a trademark but has no other meaning. Whilst it is not mandatory to display the Green Dot on packaging in the UK, many businesses have the Green Dot symbol on their packaging so that they do not have to invest in different packaging designs for each market.
If your business is a brand owner of goods sold in the UK, which have the Green Dot symbol displayed on the packaging, then it will be required to pay a UK licence fee.
If you would like ERP to purchase the Green Dot licence on your behalf, please contact us via email at ukcompliance@erp-recycling.org.
