We are Green Dot Rep, a new company within the GreenDot Group. With our help, manufacturers will be able to fulfil their packaging obligations in the EU efficiently and in compliance with the law. Our approach takes into account both national regulations such as the Packaging Act (VerpackG) and the planned EU PPWR regulation.
Why is an authorised representative important for you?
From August 12th 2026, the new EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) will stipulate clear rules if you want to place packaged products on the market in compliance with the law.
Obligation to appoint: Affected companies must appoint a local representative for each country.
Retailers are also affected: e.g. Amazon PAN-EU, which delivers to several EU countries, resulting in local obligations.
With us, you are compliant in several EU countries – with minimal effort on your part.
Green Dot Rep as your partner: With our local branches, we act as your authorised representative.
We take care of: concluding contracts with national EPR systems and reporting to registers and authorities.
