Abstract
In order to identify an item (1), on which a return deposit can be imposed, an element (11), which can at least be read in the radio frequency range and/or optionally one which can be switched or activated, are/is provided on the item (1). This element is activated optionally before or upon handing over the item and/or payment of a deposit for the item. The element is activated in such a manner that enables the item to be identified as one on which a deposit has been imposed. Before or upon returning the item (1), the element is read and, optionally when reimbursing the deposit the element (11) is activated and or deactivated in such a manner that enables the item to be identified as one on which a deposit is not imposed.
