Abstract
Method for recycling one-time codes for individually marking individual products (11-15), the codes being each stored in a RFID tag (91-95) or encoded in the form of a bar code, including the following steps:
- determining that a one-time code individually marking a product (11-15) that no longer needs to be traced is available, offering said code for individually marking another product. With this method, one-time codes can be recycled independently from their carriers such as for example RFID tags or bar codes and sold to buyers interested in new codes.
