The packaging must be marked as plastic packaging if it mainly consists of plastic (*). The exceptions, where the packaging must be marked as residual waste are:
All packaging should be optimized for recycling using as much mono material as possible.
The recommended minimum size of the pictogram on the packaging is 10 mm. On particularly small packaging, the height of the pictogram may exceptionally be reduced (minimum 6 mm).
We recommend that the pictogram be combined with the Green Dot symbol as illustrated. The text should be to the right of the pictogram. Text should never be placed within the square.
The pictogram is preferably printed in the correct violet / purple color.
It can also be printed in black or white, depending on what provides the best contrast.
The packaging must be marked with all the relevant pictograms if it consists of several packaging materials intended to be sorted separately.
(*) Grønt Punkt Norge aims to establish limit values where packaging that cannot be separated and consists of less than 80% plastic should be marked as residual waste. Contact us if you want to label packaging outside this limit value.
