(57) The present invention provides a return system for processing returned packagings, comprising:

one or more packagings provided with identification means; and
recognition means for recognizing the identification means on the packagings.

In the case the packaging has environmentally contaminating contents such as paint or glue, the return system also comprises an inner packaging so that the (outer) packaging is returned clean. The inner packaging can then preferably comprise a tapering portion so that when the inner packaging is disposed of as waste as little material as possible with an environmental impact remains behind therein.
