binee recycling system
A device in exchange for a voucher
With a decentralised return system for electronic devices a social enterprise is promoting transparent recycling
Less than half of the discarded electronic devices in Germany are collected as reusable material. The rest lies unused in drawers or ends up as residual waste. binee wants to change this situation. The start-up has developed a collecting system that motivates citizens to dispose of their electronic waste properly. When they bring electronic devices to a binee collection box, they receive a voucher that can be redeemed at drugstores, electronics dealers, and other shops. And via an app they can find out which recycling company will pick up and recycle their device.
