DSD:
DSD GmbH is the oldest Packaging Recovery Organization based on the principle of Extended Producer Responsibility in Europe. It was founded in 1990 to implement the German legislation on Packaging Waste, making fillers and retailers fully responsible for collecting an recovering used packaging from households and small business. DSD introduced the trademark “Der Grüne Punkt – The Green Dot” as a financing symbol for packaging recovery. Currently, packaging recovery organizations in 28 European member states use this trademark as a symbol for Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging.
DSD, via its subsidiary DKR, has significantly influenced the set up and development of plastics recycling technology in Germany and all of Europe. Today, DSD maintains a market share of more than 50 percent after the packaging recovery market was opened by the EU Commission in 2001.Main EU files targeted
