| dual waste management To reduce the quantity of packaging waste, and thereby of overall MSW, Germany introduced a far-reaching legislation to reduce waste, based on the producer's responsibility principle. Industry was given the option to set up a third party organization which would carry out the collection and sorting of sales packaging for care of manufacturers and retailers. Thus, Some 600 companies created "Duales System Deutschland" in 1990 ("Dual" because it meant creating a second collection system in parallel to the existing waste collection system of the local authorities). Duales System Deutschland (DSD), now has overall responsibility for the separate collection and recycling of packaging. At present, the Dual System is the only nationwide system for the collection and sorting of sales packaging. Packaging participating in this collection system is marked with the Green Dot | 双重废弃物管理 (基于生产者职责的理念，德国提出广泛的废弃物减排法律来降低包装废弃物的数量。 各产业可以选择建立第三者的组织来收集和整理生产商、零售商销售所用的包装。 因此，1990年，600家公司创立了"德国双重系统"(用"双重"是指除了当地政府的现存废弃物收集系统之外，同时创立第二个收集系统)。目前，德国双重系统(DSD)对包装的分类收集和回收有全面性的责任，双重系统是唯一的包装收集和回收的国家级系统。参与该收集系统的包装标有绿色标志。) |
