What happens next?

After collection, this waste is allocated to the dual systems according to market share. The dual systems are a take-back system for the collection, sorting and recycling of sales packaging. Der Grüne Punkt - Duales System Deutschland GmbH (DSD) was the first and is probably the best-known dual system. Today, "Der Grüne Punkt GmbH" is one of many providers of take-back systems.

Each dual system is responsible for meeting its own statutory recycling quotas. The collection mix collected in Jena is transported to the individual sorting/recycling plants by haulage companies.
