- providing a material designation in a central databank (19) for every package (13) which is generated at a collection site, attaching a machine-readable data carrier (14) to every package (13), reading the identification of the data carrier (14) into the central databank (19), associating the data carrier identification with the material designation in the central databank (19), loading the package (13) for shipping, transporting the packages (13) to a waste treatment location (26) and reading the data carrier identification at the waste treatment location (26);
characterized by associating information related to the waste treatment location (26) with the data carrier information and transferring both items of information to the central databank (19) and wherein said data carrier (14) is a transponder.
