Abstract: A method of providing an incentive for crushing containers prior to disposal by providing a reward for doing so. When a container is substantially crushed a code on the container that was previously unreadable is caused to be readable by a code reading means. In response to reading the code by the code reading means, a reward is provided. The container may be disposed of in a disposal means. The disposal means may include the code reading means and provide the reward. Alternatively the code reading means may be provided, for example, on a mobile phone or other device. The reward may be any item of value such as a prize, token, money, account credit or voucher, for example.

Abstract: A method and a system for handling in a reverse vending machine empty packaging units having return value, where the reverse vending machine, for each unit received from a person who inserts one or more such units into the reverse vending machine, identifies the individual unit and determines its assigned return value, and indicates total payable return value, and also gives the person the choice between participating in a lottery with the return value as his/her stake or having the return value paid out. The person's choice of lottery participation causes registration of the person's choice in the reverse vending machine, establishment of successful communication between the reverse vending machine and a lottery database; conversion of the return value into an integer number of lottery tickets; retrieval from a supply of numbered lottery tickets in the lottery database of an integer number of lottery tickets as numbered tickets, where one or more of the tickets retrieved are possible prize tickets, and issuance to the person on the basis of information regarding retrieved and thus allocated tickets of a token containing transaction details. In the event of faulty or absent communication between the reverse vending machine and the lottery database, a substitute token is issued that is related to said return value.
