Since Repak's establishment, it was always envisaged that a logo would be adopted. This logo is intended to signify participation in a packaging waste recovery and recycling scheme operated by an Approved Body. There is provision for this within the Waste Management (Packaging) Regulations, 1997. Article 17 of these Regulations states, as follows:

No person shall, otherwise than with the written consent of an approved body, display at any premises or on or in any product, packaging, advertisement or notice, any logo or other mark or symbol designed and adopted by that approved body for use by producers certified by that approved body for the purposes of
article 13.

Any logo could have been adopted. However, account had to be taken of Ireland's position within a European and global market and also existing logos. For these reasons, Repak adopted the Green Dot. Its use is pan-European and is administered by PRO-Europe (Packaging Recovery Organisation Europe). Countries using the Green Dot manage this organisation.

The Green Dot is a registered trademark and Repak is permitted by PRO-Europe to sub-license the use of the Green Dot to its Members. Anyone wishing to use the Green Dot must enter into a Trademark Licence Agreement with Repak.

Repak is responsible for protecting the Green Dot, on behalf of its Members, under article 17 of the Regulations and as a trademark, thereby maintaining its integrity as a financial participation statement.
