Cash your trash
Droppie is an innovative collection point that rewards users for recycling. Droppie aims to make recycling as easy and appealing as possible.
The Droppie container at Marineterrein is equipped with sensors, scanning, and sorting technology, ensuring that waste is processed automatically. This allows anyone to deposit waste without assistance. The system identifies what’s being deposited and processes it accordingly.
The Droppie app shows where different types of waste can be dropped off. On average, the reward is about 15 cents per kilo. This reward is automatically tracked and credited via the app.
Self-sufficient container
The Droppie container can operate fully off-grid. Using renewable energy, it functions even in locations without a power connection. This means collection points can be set up anywhere in the future.
More than just recycling
The Marineterrein project is not only for deposit-return products. You can also dispose of:
- E-waste
- Plastic packaging
- Deposit-return bottles
