WSE launches recycler that rewards residents for waste segregation

As part of the incentive Waste Management System by EcoTech, the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) installed a recycling machine next to its headquarters in ul. Książęca. It is an innovative EcoSmartCity solution to encourage and reward residents for waste segregation.

The recycling machine automatically sorts waste and rewards the user for segregation by assigning the appropriate number of ECO-points to his account in the ECO-Wallet mobile application. ECO-points have real value and can be used in the form of a selected discount coupon.

“Segregation pays off, and we hope that thanks to recyclers this belief will spread and positively influence our habits. Recyclers are not only machines, but also an entire IT system that serves to build incentives and shape environmentally friendly consumer habits. Our goal is for the circular economy in Poland to become a fact. We must segregate, recover and bring back to the economy as much as possible. We can imagine that such innovative incentive systems could operate in municipalities and be associated with preferential access to certain public services - such as free travel on public transport,” Deputy Prime Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz, said.
