Introduction Contd...
Over the next few years, DSD grew from strength to strength and helped Germany overcome some of its problems associated with the lack of landfill space. Neighboring countries such as Austria, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, and Norway also adopted the Green Dot system to comply with the EC's Packaging Directive5.
5] The Packaging Directive, passed in December 1994,
“aimed to harmonize national measures concerning the management of packaging
and packaging waste in order, on the one hand, to prevent any impact thereof
on the environment of all Member States as well as of third countries or to
reduce such impact, and, on the other hand, to ensure the functioning of the
internal market and to avoid obstacles to trade and distortion and
restriction of competition within the Community.” (Source: http://eur-lex.europa.eu) |
