ABSTRACT:
In order to identify an item, on which a return deposit can be imposed, an element, 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. 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, the element is read and, optionally when reimbursing the deposit, the element 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.
