From this week, rewards can be obtained each time cans and plastic bottles of drinks are recycled in a yellow container that Elche city council has installed, in collaboration with Ecoembes and the Generalitat, in the Central Market and the markets of Plaza Madrid and the Plaza Barcelona.
The campaign has been presented at the Plaza de Barcelona Market by the Councillor for the Environment, Esther Díez, where they have placed a bottle in one of these machines with which consumers can obtain exchangeable points called RECYCLES.
Esther Díez has indicated that citizens will be able to obtain sustainable and social prizes by recycling their cans and plastic bottles of drinks and has stressed that “it is about making it easier for citizens to do this activity on a daily basis and contribute to promoting consumption in the municipal markets”.
How to use the Recycle machines
To use the recycling machines, users have to register on the webapp (app.reciclos.com), deposit all their cans and plastic bottles of drinks in a recycling machine and scan the QR that the machine will display.
By doing so, they will earn points, called Recycles, which they can exchange for the different rewards available, such as, in the case of the machines in the markets of Elche, deliver them to food donation projects for vulnerable people. These points will have a weekly limit so that citizens not only recycle more and better their packaging, but also consume responsibly.
