Der Grüne Punkt – Duales System Deutschland GmbH

Der Grüne Punkt helps businesses meet obligations under Germany’s Packaging Act and manage packaging-related services through its online One-Stop-Shop. Companies can purchase licences for sales, shipping, service and outer packaging that typically reaches private end consumers, and access guidance on which packaging they must register. The site also offers services for transport and commercial packaging, one-way deposit systems, and authorised representation for companies based abroad that supply German consumers directly.

Customers can use DigiDot, a digital sorting guide, and tools including a licensing calculator, a calculator for authorised representation, and DoCgo for creating declarations of conformity under the PPWR. Other resources include packaging calculations and reporting, environmental certificates, an online label, seminars, and support through email, chat and telephone. Der Grüne Punkt also provides information tailored to shopkeepers, online retailers, producers, importers, intermediaries and sellers using electronic marketplaces or fulfilment services. The company highlights its recycling contribution and reports that customers have rated its service highly, earning it the Trusted Shops Excellent Shop Award.
