IZI, Romania’s first bag-based recycling system, has surpassed 1 million returned packaging items, according to the company. The milestone comes less than a year after its launch, as the system continued to expand.
IZI allows users to return bottles, cans, and plastic packaging in bulk, without inserting them individually into machines. Using a mobile app, users scan a QR code, attach a generated label to a bag of recyclables, and deposit it at a smart collection point. The deposit value is then transferred directly to their bank account within approximately 24 hours.
