Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023025859A1] The empty beverage container recycling system includes plastic containers with labels that contain information about the containers and the drinks they contain. The automatic machines for the sale of drinks, the tills, the RVM, the recycling plants and the bins are equipped with means to read the labels and have computer means configured to process the information associated to the containers. The server stores a database containing information about the recycling system, the empty containers and the drinks they contain and the users registered in the recycling system. The server software is configured to process the information stored in the labels of the empty containers and related to the beverages therein contained, which is transmitted by the automatic machines for the sale of containers, from the checkouts, from the automatic RVM and from recycling plants and bins. A software application loaded on a mobile phone of the users registered in the recycling system can read the text, the bar code or QR by means of optical reading means of the mobile phone and transmits the information contained on the labels to the server that associates the information received with the user's account.
