About Der Grune Punkt

A circular emblem: a dark green round disk contains two interlocking, curved arrows that form a continuous, clockwise/anticlockwise ‘chasing’ circle. One arrow appears as a white curved shape and the other as the green negative-space counterpart, creating a yin‑yang-like rotation.

Above the circle, arched uppercase text reads “DER GRÜNE PUNKT” in the same dark green. The mark is flat, high-contrast and compact, with a thin darker shadow/edge visible around the lower-left of the circle.

Der Grune Punkt Logo History

Der Grüne Punkt (The Green Dot) was introduced in Germany around 1990 by Duales System Deutschland (DSD) as a licensing/trademark to indicate a producer’s participation in a packaging take‑back and recovery system. The mark became widely used in Europe to show that producers contribute to recycling systems for packaging.
