Although recycling rates for household packaging in Spain increase each year, Ecoembes is never content. We aim to keep coming up with innovative ideas to assist local governments to create more accountable and sustainable communities while also adapting to your daily life. This idea served as the foundation for the RECICLOS project.

RECICLOS is the first mobile App in Spain that rewards citizens for their commitment to recycling in the yellow garbage can, offering incentives for recycling cans and plastic beverage bottles.

Developed by Ecoembes, this RRS (Return and Reward System) represents an evolution of the current packaging recycling model established in our country, by incorporating mobile technology and incentives.

Through identification, the recycling habit has evolved digitally. You therefore win and the environment wins each time you dispose of your cans and beverage bottles in the yellow bin and register them in the RECICLOS system.

When recycling any can or plastic beverage bottle, you only need to scan the barcode of the container using the app (only drink cans and/or plastic bottles), deposit the item in any yellow container located in public spaces, and take a photo of the container from the same app.

In addition, users have access to 300 RECICLOS Machines located in railway stations, hospitals, and university campuses across Spain. To earn RECICLOS points, users simply need to insert their cans or plastic bottles into the machine and scan the barcode displayed on the screen.
