Abstract

See full text

A method and data carrier programmed with instructions for the method for recycling products includes recording through a mobile device that a product to be recycled has been brought to a collection point. The mobile device includes an identification module for identifying the mobile device and/or a user. A deposit is credited by the recycling of the product or a recycling fee is debited by the recycling of the product on an account linked with the identification module. Another aspect includes recording that a product to be recycled has been brought to a collection point. A code identifying the product is recorded by the collection point, and a first signal is sent to a mobile device that the product is to be recycled. A reward or debiting linked with the recycling of the product is automatically determined and credited or billed on an account linked with the identification module.
