Consumers fastidiously sort and reuse packages for a variety of household goods, like shampoo, laundry detergent, and milk, that bear the green-dot logo, a swirling arrow identifying products licensed by the Duales System Deutschland, the country's leading package recycler. That's because in 1991 the nation enacted a packaging ordinance, requiring all industries to take back used containers."
