If you are the brand owner of packaging and you produce packaging
that displays the Green Dot®, which is then sold in the UK, you must pay a UK licence
fee.
A parent company can apply for one Green Dot® licence on behalf
of all their subsidiary companies / divisions.
When the licence is formally granted it will cover you for all
product lines irrespective of quantity, volume and number of product ranges.
If you are exporting packaging to other
European countries, you may be required to display
this symbol on your packaging. This will depend on how the respective country has
chosen to implement the 1994 European Union Directive on Packaging and Packaging
Waste 94/62/EC.
Please note that if you are a company registered
in the UK and are a Valpak packaging member, you are entitled to use the symbol
on your packaging in the UK, free of charge. However, please inform
Valpak that
you are using the symbol, and what packaging you display the symbol on.
