What the DPG certification means?<\/h2>\n

DPG (Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH)<\/a><\/strong><\/span> certification represents a system for deposit and return of plastic packaging in Germany, aiming to encourage recycling and waste reduction for beverage containers.<\/p>\n

How does the DPG system work?<\/h2>\n

The German Packaging Act, adopted in 2019*, requires that a deposit of at least \u20ac0.25 is applied to disposable drinks packaging. This charge is borne by the producers and is included in the final price of the products.<\/p>\n

The DPG system was established to address this issue, providing consumers with a refund of 0.25 euros for each recycled container.<\/p>\n

Plastic beverage containers, filled once by the manufacturer, can be returned and recycled throughout Germany. After return, they are transformed into new single-use beverage packages1<\/sup>. In this way, the DPG system contributes to the circular economy by promoting recycling and reuse of packaging.<\/p>\n

DPG Marking – Mandatory for participation in the system<\/h2>\n

Labels and packaging of single use plastic beverage containers with the DPG marking are exclusively intended for distribution to end consumers in Germany. And the benefits of the marking are only usefully realized within the German one-way storage system coordinated by DPG.<\/p>\n

Producers and importers of beverages participating in the DPG system must label beverage packaging with the mandatory deposit according to DPG specifications. This is the only way they can be recognized and successfully integrated into the system. As such, the use of the DPG logo becomes mandatory for selling beverage packaging with a deposit on the German market. A system that has been proven over many years to support the circular economy.<\/p>\n

Printing of the DPG logo by Rottaprint<\/h2>\n

The printing of the DPG logo, vertically placed on the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), with a special DPG ink on the label, is exclusively reserved for printers specialised in the production of labels and flexible packaging.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

Rottaprint has a DPG certification and is therefore authorised to print the DPG logo on labels<\/a> and flexible packaging<\/a> in strict compliance with the requirements of the DPG scheme.<\/span><\/strong> We make sure that the positioning and size meet the appropriate standards. The accuracy of printing the DPG logo plays a central role in this process, ensuring that end consumers face no difficulties when returning containers to Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs).<\/p>\n
