We assist companies and governments to design and implement recycling programs by connecting the value chain between collection, sorting, recycling services, and end markets. Specifically, in Germany we helped to create the world’s first nationwide EPR program for household packaging, including hard-to-recycle plastics like flexible films, a model is considered the forerunner of the European Union’s current regulatory structure.
GreenDot is expanding operations into additional countries and creating affiliates around the world to increase global recycling rates and advance multi-national brands toward their sustainability goals. In 2022, we established GreenDot North America and are utilizing our more than 30 years of experience to support municipalities, brands, and chemical companies in increasing packaging recovery and establishing the necessary infrastructure to collect and recycle all plastics.
