Abstract:
|
The 'Green Dot', a waste management system, was developed to reduce packaging
waste as well as to increase recycling/reuse rates in Germany. The case
discusses the Green Dot system, giving details about the waste collection,
sorting and disposal mechanisms, the charges that companies had to pay to become
a part of the system, etc.
It then gives an account of the initial obstacles faced by the system and the
measures taken to surmount them. It also compares the Green Dot system with the
system followed in the UK. The case ends with a brief discussion on recent
happenings in the German waste industry.
