The main concept of Greenbin
Greenbin is an easy way to return used packaging for rewards.
Our cleantech project aims to motivate individuals to collect and recycle empty bottles with reward points. Then the points could be exchanged for new products, services, discounts, or donated to charity.
We have found that our gamified app with environmental goods, based on the philosophy and success of the European deposit system, leads to a measurable positive impact on consumer behavior and the environment.
Our partners, including retailers, cafes, cinemas, and other brands, provide deals for a loyalty program and get a CSR program for their customers, green PR, and advertisements.
Our customers, manufacturers of plastic packaging, get transparent verified data and statistics about the amount of recycled packaging.
How does it work?
Our app connects manufacturers that already have obligations according to the new EU waste laws and consumers who identify used bottles before recycling and get rewards for doing the right thing.
All the user needs to do is identify each bottle before throwing it into the recycling bin (by scanning a barcode), put the QR-code sticker near the barcode on the bottle, scan it, and throw it into the bin. After verification by the supermarket workers, the user will receive bonus points that could be exchanged for new products and services in our loyalty system.
What all this means is Greenbin.app collects and analyzes the data about recycled packaging received from consumers and provides it to the manufacturers.
2. How do users obtain your stickers for recycling?
The stickers are available at our locations. So, firstly, we partner with different locations. They put recycling bins for plastic bottles in a separate area, and there, in the envelope, will be the stickers. Stickers will also be available at the reception, customer support, and cash desk. So, users can easily take the right amount of stickers from supermarkets and complete the entire process of scanning the bottles at home, avoiding lines and other unpleasant situations.
