Grønt Punkt Norge AS (“Green Dot Norway plc”) is a privately owned non-profit company responsible for financing the recovery and recycling of used packaging on behalf of the industrial sector.

Five material companies own Green Dot Norway, which is a non-profit company. Green Dot Norway collects license fees on behalf of all five companies, and in addition, Green Dot Norway runs the recovery schemes for plastic packaging, beverage cartons and cardboard.

Parallel with Green Dot system there are two non-mandatory deposit systems for PET bottles. One is owned by breweries and handles reused beverage containers, mainly PET, but also some glass. The other deposit scheme handles recyclable PET, PE and aluminum cans and is owned by breweries and grocery chains.

It is not mandatory to be a member of Green Dot Norway, but all companies that use produce or use packaging have a responsibility to ensure the packaging is being handled in a proper way. Except for beverage containers, there are no other alternatives than Green Dot Norway.

 

 

Consumers

All Norwegian households have the opportunity to sort beverage- and packaging cartons and apps. 95% of households may sort plastic packaging. The municipalities are responsible for the collection schemes.

Beverage cartons
Beverage cartons are packaging for non-gaseous drinks and other foodstuffs such as milk, juice, yogurt, sauces and puddings.

Carton packaging
Carton packaging comprises boxes and containers that are not made of solid or corrugated cardboard, such as those that have contained cereal, biscuits, frozen pizza, toys and electronic components.

Plastic from households
Each year we seem to set new records for material recycling of plastic packaging from households, as more local authorities encourage residents to sort their waste.

Aluminium

Plastics

About 2/3 of all plastic packaging collected in Norway through Grønt Punkt Norge is generated by the trade and industry sectors. This used packaging is much cleaner and homogeneous than household packaging, which makes possible more efficient and less costly sorting and return systems and routines.

Green Dot Norway uses a wide range of communication tools to reach all audiences.

  • Green Dot Norway is also responsible for collection and recycling plastic packaging from trade and industry. Activities are mainly web-based, or print such as ads and brochures. 
  • Members and potential members are of course very important to Green Dot Norway. Over the last years we have been focusing on using the web for as many tasks as possible. We also do profile work through ads, and some more recruit oriented activities to ensure all companies that should pay license fee is a member of Green Dot Norway. To reach out t this audience we also use educational films, brochures designated web member pages etc.
