Your participation in the Dual System.
The licence promoting environmental protection & climate action
Companies might find the packaging licensing scheme and the packaging ordinances to be a bit tiresome. At the end of the day, these mean more admin work and higher costs. But they are urgently needed to promote sustainability. Taking part in the Dual System ensures that packaging is sent for recycling and that valuable recyclable materials can be recovered and reused. Companies that license their packaging are not only ensuring they meet all the regulations set out in the German Packaging Act [VerpackG] but are also demonstrably helping to protect natural resources and curb climate change. This fact not only looks good in their sustainability reports but also gives them the assurance that they are acting responsibly as a business. And as far as the admin and costs are concerned: you’ve come to just the right place with EKO-PUNKT’s EASY-LIZE. We’ve designed the whole packaging licensing process so that it’s as convenient, easy and efficient for you as possible. At the current daily price.

Never-ending sustainability.
The EKO-PUNKT principle
EKO-PUNKT is a centre of excellence for packaging. It is our mission to ensure that packaging is always considered in a holistic and sustainable way. Licensing packaging with EASY-LIZE is just the beginning. We have built on this and created a comprehensive range of services along the whole of the packaging supply chain. Or perhaps a better way of saying it would be ‘around the whole of the packaging lifecycle’. As this is exactly what our principle is: to upgrade the chain and turn it into a circle. Read on to find out how we do this. You’ll also find some links to the relevant content on our EKO-PUNKT website

We provide you with recycled materials equivalent to the volumes of your licensed packaging so that you can manufacture your packaging (or have it manufactured) again and again using fewer virgin raw materials.

We take a detailed look to see how your packaging meets current and future (minimum) environmental standards and point out where there’s room for improvement.

Protecting the environment – by participating in the Dual System
Many companies find it particularly challenging to manage their packaging and waste packaging. They are obliged by law to ensure that their packaging is collected and recycled in an environmentally compatible way. One way of meeting this challenge is to take part in the Dual System. But what exactly is this scheme and how do companies benefit?
What is the Dual System?
The Dual System is a scheme for collecting and recycling packaging and waste packaging.
This scheme stipulates that manufacturers of packaging and packed products are responsible for making sure that their packaging is collected and recycled properly. You do this by concluding a contract with a Dual System – such as EKO-PUNKT.
You register your packaging with the Dual System and receive a licence. The Dual System then handles the collection and processing of your packaging and waste packaging. As part of this process, they sort the packaging according to type of material and send it on for recycling.
What are the advantages of taking part in the Dual System?
Firms benefit in many ways from participating in the Dual System. For example:
- Their packaging and waste packaging is collected and processed in line with all rules and regulations
- They protect the environment by having their packaging recycled
- Their commitment to the environment helps further improve their company’s image
- They optimise their waste management system and reduce their waste management costs
What happens if firms don’t participate in the Dual System?
As a basic rule, companies that wish to have their packaging licensed must take part in the Dual System. When firms participate in the Dual System, they pay a fee to have their waste packaging collected and processed. This fee depends on the type and volume of packaging that is placed onto the market. By taking part in the Dual System, companies ensure that they fulfil their statutory obligations regarding the collection and recycling of their waste packaging.
There are, though, alternative ways for companies to meet their obligations. They can, for example, collect and process their waste packaging themselves. They are then themselves responsible for ensuring this is done correctly and are no longer obliged to participate in the Dual System. This, however, not only means more work for the company. It must also have the necessary specialist waste management know-how.
One thing is clear: it is certainly to be recommended that you take part in the Dual System as this is a
cost-efficient and uncomplicated solution. What’s more, participating in the Dual System helps to promote an environmentally aware company philosophy and, as a result, has a positive impact on a company’s image.
