Green Dot Malta - PRO EUROPE Member

PRO EUROPE is the umbrella organisation for European packaging waste recovery and recycling schemes which mainly use the "Green Dot" trademark as a financing symbol. PRO EUROPE is the general licensor of the "Green Dot" trademark.

PRO EUROPE also acts as the authoritative voice and common policy platform representing the interests of all packaging recovery and recycling organisations founded and run by or on behalf of obliged industry. The aim is to ensure the recovery and recycling of packaging waste in the most economically efficient and ecologically sound manner.

The "Green Dot" has evolved into a proven concept in many countries as implementation of Producer Responsibility. Industry in twenty-five nations is now using the "Green Dot" as the financing symbol for the organisation of recovery, sorting and recycling of sales packaging. Private-sector compliance schemes working toward this objective are today in place in twenty-two EU member states.

The members of PRO EUROPE wish to demonstrate that the recycling of used packaging is an important step on the path towards the level of sustainable development that is necessary to safeguard our planet for future generations. Their work in Europe and world-wide is proving both successful and transparent.
