GREEN DOT SYMBOL
The green dot symbol is a registered trademark that can only be used with the express authorisation of Sociedade Ponto Verde. It entails the existence of a valid contract between SPV and the packer/filler; this is the only way for a packer/filler to be duly authorised to use the symbol.
The addition of the Green Dot trademark on packaging, publications or communications must fully respect the basic rules on use of the green dot symbol and avoid any kind of misinterpretation of the symbol's meaning.
Firstly, placing the green dot symbol on packaging means that a financial contribution has been paid to Sociedade Ponto Verde for that packaging and that SPV is responsible for recovering the packaging after use.

SPV informs that will celebrate, without any cost, license agreements for the use of the Green Dot® brand under conditions that do not compromise the distinctive character of the brand, with packers, importers and suppliers of service packaging that do not transfer their responsibility for the management of packaging and packaging waste to SPV and manifest a legitimate interest in its use.
