SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INDICATING A QUALITY OF GROUPED ITEMS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining a relative quantity of recyclable items with respect to a total number of items:
- reading an identifier respectively associated with at least some of the total number of items;
receiving by the computer a number of identifiers associated with the recyclable items;
receiving at the computer a total number of items; and
computing the relative quantity of recyclable items by dividing the number of identifiers associated with the recyclable items by the total number of items.

Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a relative quantity of recyclable items with respect to a total number of items are disclosed. In one embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method includes reading an identifier respectively associated with at least some of a total number of items. The computer determines a number of identifiers associated with the recyclable items. The computer also receives the total number of items, and computes the relative quantity of recyclable items by dividing the number of identifiers associated with the recyclable items by the total number of items.

8. A computer-implemented method for determining a relative weight of recyclable items with respect to a weight of a total number of items, comprising:
-
reading an identifier respectively associated with at least some of the total number of items; determining by the computer a number of identifiers associated with the recyclable items; determining by the computer a total weight of the recyclable items by multiplying the number of identifiers associated with the recyclable items by the weight of each recyclable item; receiving a weight of the total number of items; and computing the relative weight by dividing the total weight of the recyclable items by the weight of the total number of items. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
