Each city offers several recycling alternatives for recycling plastic beverage cans and bottles:

🟡 Yellow container, which will validate packaging using QR codes. In the case of the Valencian Community, and the cities of Alcalá de Henares and Burgos, the scanning is carried out from a photo with your mobile device that will recognize the yellow container to validate the recycling of the container.

🟡 RECYCLE machines, similar to vending machines but with reverse mechanics, where you can deposit your cans and bottles.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE ENVIRONMENT, BUT WHY RECYCLE WITH RECYCLES?
The recycling figures for domestic packaging in the yellow container improve every year, but at Ecoembes we continue to innovate to find new formulas to benefit the environment.

This is how the Return and Reward System (SDR) was born, which encourages the recycling of cans and plastic beverage bottles and recognizes your commitment to the environment. This digital evolution of the recycling habit takes care of the environmental sustainability of our environment.

Ratings and reviews

I don't think it really works. I've installed the app and scanned the codes which are on the plastic bottles BUT there isn't any QR code on the container in my quarter sooo..it's not so useful actually. I'm very sorry. Spain has much to learn from the countries like Germany or Sweden because they are a great example how to recycle the plastic or glass or aluminium.

This is a really good idea, however, it is only valid for bottles and cans. There are so many things that need to be included like tetrabricks and other plastic wrappings. Also, duplicates are not permitted, so if I have some friends over and we all drink a beer from a can, ONLY One of those cans will be counted.

A good idea but badly executed. I love the idea of accumulating points to donate to good causes. But the scanning is inaccurate and the unrealistic limitation on how many cans I can recycle each day and each week (max 6 per day, 25 per week) is ridiculous. After a family gathering at which say 48 cans are consumed, I need to visit the recycling bin on 8 separate days spread over 2 weeks. This is supposed to stop us buying so many cans but it just stops me from using the app.
