The logo of der Grüne Punkt is proof that the producer has paid for the processing of the packaging in the waste phase in the country of production, usually Germany. This logo has no value for the Dutch consumer, and is therefore not a quality mark.
Der Grüne Punkt is part of a German law, the Verpackungsverordnung. This states that the producer is responsible for taking back the packaging containing his products.
