Dispose of it right \u2013 component-specific disposal guidance across Europe<\/h1>\r\n

Instead of \u201cplease dispose of separately\u201d, we say: \u201cremove the lid, empty the cup \u2013 both go into lightweight packaging collection\u201d. Digi-Cycle delivers component-specific sorting guidance that matches local collection rules, and shows the nearest collection point.
\r\n
\r\nThis 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.
\r\n
\r\nSince 2026, Digi-Cycle has been part of the Green Dot Group.<\/p>\r\n Get in touch<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Two ways to dispose of it right<\/h1>\n

The same guidance \u2013 via QR code in the browser or via barcode in the app.<\/h2>\n

DigiDot \u2013 via QR code, no app needed:<\/strong> 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 \u2013 50,000+ products by barcode:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

DigiDot and the PPWR<\/h1>\r\n

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. Possible use cases for QR-Codes:<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n \"\"\/\r\n

Art. 12 (9) \u2013 EPR marking<\/h2>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n \"\"\/\r\n

Art. 12 (1) \u2013 Sorting labels<\/h2>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n \"\"\/\r\n

Art. 15 (6) \u2013 Producer information<\/h2>\r\n

Producer and contact details may also be provided digitally, saving space on the pack.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n

The Digi-Cycle app: scan the barcode, sort it right<\/h1>\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

For producers: more than compliance<\/h1>\r\n

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, for example when collection systems or regulations change, without reprinting the packaging. That turns an obligation into an advantage: less text on pack, fewer print variants and clear guidance for your customers. Available as a Basic version for packaging types or a Product version for individual products.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n
