Can you imagine that recycling cans and beverage plastic bottles can become a fun and rewarding activity? Now it is possible thanks to Recyclesan app developed by The Circular Lab, the Ecoembes Innovation Center that manages to motivate citizens to recycle in a simple and effective way. Every time you collaborate with the environment, this innovative application rewards you for your commitment.
With Recyclesdepositing your cans and plastic bottles in the yellow container not only helps the planet, but also allows you to accumulate recycles points that you can exchange for prize raffles, solidarity donations and even participate in the reforestation of a natural space of the Sierra Norte de Madrid. Discover how this app makes recycling a motivating and technological experience!
The functioning of recycles is easy and intuitive
The operation is designed so that there is no complication when recycling the containers that we are going to deposit in the yellow containers to obtain recycles points.
To start using recycles, the first step is to verify that you are a recycle municipality. You can check it on this website: Then you will have to download the app on your device Android either iOS and register. And after that, you just have to scan the barcode of the can or plastic bottle from the app itself, take a photo of the yellow container with the same app and then deposit them in that container..
All this has a purpose: accumulate recycles points that can then be exchanged. Thanks to this, users can participate in awards raffles, which include technological devices, bicycles and other interesting products, such as product packs denomination of origin. But that's not all; There is also the option to contribute to social causesmedical and other initiatives. The best thing is that the most active users can participate as many times as they want, which is very motivating.
Another important aspect that we should not overlook is that, thanks to this initiative, we can also contribute to the Reforestation in the Sierra Norte de Madrid. With the recycled points generated thanks to the recycling of cans and bottles, users can help the plants of trees in a degraded area. They have already planted a total of 40,000 trees in what is called the Recycles Forest, in collaboration with the Retroe organization, which is an excellent opportunity to collaborate in the care of our planet, something that we should all keep in mind.
The Great Scope of Recycles
You can find a total of 303 recycled machines distributed throughout Spainso it is very common to find them in recurring public spaces such as universities, hospitals and train stations. In addition, recycles is now available in 689 municipalities, including two autonomous communities in its entirety: the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands. This is an important advance for the project to have an impact even in rural areas.
Until 2024, recycles has had more than 800,000 active usersaccumulating 5.66 million donated recycles. In addition, only in 2024 more than 22,000 trees have been planted, contributing significantly to the restoration of natural areas that have suffered degradation. Also, the app has demonstrated its ability to act quickly before emergency situationsas during the DANA in the Valencian Community and Castilla La Mancha, when solidarity and recovery projects of the Albufera were activated in collaboration with the Red Cross, the Food Bank and Global Nature.
Commitment to the Environment
There are still people who are not entirely aware of the positive impact that we can generate by taking care of the environment through the recycling of the containers. However, initiatives such as recycles, developed by Ecoembes, integrate technology into recycling, allowing users to become protagonists of change.
The main objective of recycles is to foster the habit of recycling in the yellow container, attracting a broad audience through attractive rewardssocial commitments and, of course, a greater environmental responsibility.
