The Green Dot

The GREEN DOT and EKO‑KOM trademarks on packaging have the same meaning. Below, you can find out what they mean and how to use them properly.

GREEN DOT

 

 

What does this trademark actually mean?

The GREEN DOT is a trademark. The GREEN DOT on packaging means that a financial contribution has been paid to an organisation for this packaging ensuring the return and recovery of packaging waste.

Do I have to pay a special fee to use the GREEN DOT?

EKO‑KOM’s clients are not charged any additional fees for using the trademark. EKO‑KOM, a.s. also provides legal protection of this trademark in the Czech Republic.

Can I use the GREEN DOT on the packaging of the goods I export?

The licence granted by EKO‑KOM, a.s. does not entitle the client to use the GREEN DOT outside of the Czech Republic. The consent of the organisation authorised to grant the licence in the relevant market must be obtained for direct distribution of the marked product abroad.

Recommended use of the logo since 2015

Značka zelený bod

Dear Clients, we recommend using the GREEN DOT logo with the ® symbol (letter R in a circle) on your packaging if you create new packaging or labels. The ® symbol shows that it is a registered trademark. Please consider also other aspects found in the Trademark Use Instructions.

The existing provisions in the Contract on Collective Compliance regarding the GREEN DOT logo are unchanged and it can be used in the same way as before (GREEN DOT logo without the ® symbol).

We recommend using the GREEN DOT logo in accordance with this document:
