The Green Dot – a symbol of producer financed circularity for more than 35 years. Today, the brand is no longer just the best-known financing symbol on packaging, but also offers real added value for end consumers. With a simple scan using their smartphone’s camera, users receive precise, location-specific information within seconds on how to properly sort and dispose of the packaging in question. The instructions cover all components of the packaging and are available in many languages. 

DigiDot combines the high brand awareness and trust associated with the ‘Der Grüne Punkt’ trademark with modern digital options for conveying information. 

DigiDot is the digital EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) symbol and trademark of Der Grüne Punkt (The Green Dot) – redesigned to meet the requirements of modern end consumers and legal frameworks.

 

DigiDot combines the high level of awareness and trust associated with ‘The Green Dot’ with modern digital possibilities for conveying information. As manufacturers you can decide for yourself which product information is available via DigiDot and integrate it specifically into your communication with end consumers – for example, through external links, product information, competitions or other incentives. The QR code serves as an interface between the information needs of end consumers and the individual product communication of manufacturers.
