Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1256910A1] Method for identification of a returnable object (1) to which a deposit has been applied. The object has an element (11) that can be switched or activated prior to sale or to activate the object deposit. When the object is returned and the deposit paid, then the element is deactivated to show that the object no longer has a deposit. The object is activated or switched with a low frequency radio wave. An Independent claim is made for a returnable or non-returnable object that has an element that can be switched between deposit, i.e. returnable, and non-deposit modes. The element is re-useable, i.e. it can by used multiple times if the object is being returned.
