Instead of “please dispose of separately”, we say: “remove the lid, empty the cup – both go into lightweight packaging collection”. Digi-Cycle delivers component-specific sorting guidance that matches local collection rules, and shows the nearest collection point.
This applies to packaging as well as waste electrical equipment (WEEE), batteries, textiles and many other products. Our database covers more than 1,000 waste types, around 50,000 branded products and over 500,000 collection points, in more than 30 languages and over 30 countries.
Since 2026, Digi-Cycle has been part of the Green Dot Group.
DigiDot – via QR code, no app needed: Scan the DigiDot on the packaging with your smartphone camera and get component-specific guidance and the nearest collection point in your browser within seconds, in your language. Developed together with the Green Dot.
Digi-Cycle app – 50,000+ products by barcode: No QR code on the pack? The app recognises numerous branded products by their barcode or via search, with the same sorting guidance and a map of the nearest collection point. Where information alone isn’t enough, Reward for Recycling campaigns can add incentives.
From 2028, the PPWR requires harmonised sorting labels on packaging and explicitly names QR codes as information carriers. According to a JRC study, 65% of consumers want a QR code on packaging that tells them not only the material but also the disposal route in their region. DigiDot covers the relevant requirements with a single code.
Participation in an EPR scheme may only be indicated via a digital data carrier. Anyone who wants to keep showing the Green Dot needs a QR code. DigiDot was built for exactly this.
Material pictograms can be complemented by a QR code: DigiDot provides material composition, component-level guidance and local collection information. Subject to the final implementing acts, expected in Q4 2026.
Producer and contact details may also be provided digitally, saving space on the pack.
The difference to the DigiDot web guide: the app needs no QR code on the packaging. It recognises over 50,000 branded products by their barcode and has already been downloaded more than 50,000 times in Austria.
Scan the barcode or search among more than 50,000 branded products.
The Recycling Guide shows how to separate and dispose of each component in your region.
Find the nearest collection point on the map and collect reward points for selected products.
One code, every market: DigiDot shows the right guidance for each country and language, even on a 50 ml tube, where there is often no room for multilingual text. Content can be updated after printing. Sustainability information, campaigns and competitions turn an obligation into a direct line to your customers. Available as a Basic version for packaging types or a Product version for individual products.
These brands and retailers already rely on Digi-Cycle for more collection, sorting and recycling.
