Recycling search app eSchrott
Hellmann Process Management GmbH & Co. KG
The free app eSchrott makes disposing of old electrical appliances quick and easy. With an appealing and user-friendly design, the app accesses a national network of over 15,000 municipal and commercial collection sites, and points users to the nearest location. As well as weekly alerts about environmental issues, the app can be used to report illegal dumping of e-waste. This increases the collection rate of e-waste and promotes the recovery of important secondary raw materials.

»The eco-friendly disposal of broken electrical appliances is too irksome for some consumers, either because it’s too far to the nearest recycling centre or they don’t know where it is. In such cases, this app can be a huge help. The overall approach is convincing, and makes the many return facilities in shops and municipalities available in straightforward and mobile way. Refreshing the data on collection sites means that users can always be up to date. This app solution was overdue, and it costs nothing.«
