Two interlocking green arrows forming a circular motif, marking that a packaging producer has paid into a European packaging-recovery scheme.
A trademark of Der Grüne Punkt – Duales System Deutschland GmbH, licensed across Europe via PRO Europe — indicates the producer financially contributes to packaging recovery, not that the packaging itself is recyclable or made of recycled material.
Indicates the packaging's producer has paid into a national packaging-recovery/recycling-financing scheme (originally Germany's, following the 1991 Packaging Ordinance); it does not certify that the packaging is recyclable, was recycled, or contains recycled content.
Contexts: Packaging
Widely and repeatedly misread by consumers as meaning the packaging itself is recyclable — a documented point of confusion distinct from the symbol's actual financing-scheme meaning.
A documented common misunderstanding, not a claim the symbol's design intends.
Contexts: Packaging
Two interlocking arrows in two shades of green, forming a circular motif.
Both belong to the Packaging, recycling and disposal symbols system.
