Protecting the Consumer

Companies that make no financial contribution for the recovery of their packaging but still 'claim' that they are doing so by trading products that carry the Green Dot mark are deceiving consumers. Known in the industry as 'free riders' such companies also bring a distortion in competition and are damaging the Maltese environment.

Consumers purchasing goods marked with the Green Dot must be confident that such packaging is being properly recycled. For this purpose, GreenPak issues Recycling Certificates to each company on our scheme.

Customers may ask to be shown a copy of this Recycling Certificate from any outlet selling products that are marked with the Green Dot. If in doubt about authenticity of a certificate being shown, consumers are advised to take note of the membership number that appears on each certificate and to check it with GreenPak Customer Care or by sending an email to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
