Selects the "Green Spots" of Turkish Industry…

Applications for the "Green Dot Industry Awards", which we organized for the sixth time this year as ÇEVKO Foundation (Environmental Protection and Packaging Waste Utilization Foundation) and attended by leading companies from Turkey and the world, start on March 1, 2022.

All companies with a Yeşil Nokta Brand Sublicense Agreement can apply. Applications for the award process will continue until Friday, May 27, 2022 at 17:00.

What is the Green Dot?

Green Dot was first used in Germany in 1990-1991 as a system that encourages the separate collection of packaging waste at the source. This trademark, registered by DSD to distinguish industrial companies that recycle their packaging, was used in Europe and other countries by PRO Europe in 1995.

The Green Dot is an international model symbolizing industrial responsibility. The mark on the packaging indicates that the business where the product is marketed fulfills its legal obligations regarding the recycling of packaging waste and makes a financial contribution to the system.

Green Dot Today

  • Valid in 31 countries (mostly EU members).
  • More than 150,000 organizations use Green Dot on their packaging.
  • The amount of packaging used annually has reached 400 billion.
  • 540 million consumers are included in the system.
  • It is a registered trademark in more than 140 countries.

The Right to Use the “Yeşil Nokta” Brand Belongs to ÇEVKO

With the agreement made with PRO-Europe in 2003, the right to use the international "Green Dot" brand in Turkey was given to the ÇEVKO Foundation. Companies that fulfill their recycling responsibilities in our country can use the Yeşil Nokta brand by making a sublicense agreement.

Approximately 1100 companies in Turkey use the Yeşil Nokta brand and are recognized by consumers as companies that are environmentally friendly, have a high sense of responsibility and support recycling.
