From the Green Dot to DigiDot: Denis Völler, The Green Dot | interpack 2026

From the traditional green dot to the digital QR code: Denis Völler (The Green Dot) explains at interpack 2026 with Felix Badura (Digicycle) why the 80 percent PPWR recycling quotas remain unattainable without digitalisation – and how the DigiDot brings clarity to 31 countries.

From the traditional green dot to the digital QR code: Denis Völler (The Green Dot) explains at interpack 2026 with Felix Badura (Digicycle) why the 80 percent PPWR recycling quotas remain unattainable without digitalisation – and how the DigiDot brings clarity to 31 countries.

Denis Völler, Managing Director of Der Grüne Punkt, and Felix Badura from Digicycle explain the digital transformation of packaging labelling. Under the PPWR, recycling targets of 80% are set to be achieved by 2030 – a goal that cannot be met without digitalisation. The DigiDot uses QR codes to solve the problem of a lack of consumer information on complex packaging. Specially coated materials, which look like paper but must be disposed of differently, create uncertainty. The Europe-wide solution takes local collection systems into account – blue bins in Germany, red ones in Austria. Völler emphasises: Design for Recycling must become the standard so that high-quality recyclates can be produced. #interpack #packaging #recycling #digitalisation #PPWR #circular economy #sustainability #labelling
