Fraud prevention at DRS

Protection against fraud in the deposit scheme – detection of unusual patterns, EAN verification and blocking of fraudulent transactions at operational level.

Protecting the system against abuse

The module is responsible for identifying irregularities in the deposit system by analysing operational and financial data. It detects anomalies, irregular patterns and potential fraud before they affect the settlement process.

Through automatic data analysis, the system minimises the risk of financial losses and helps ensure operational compliance.

The process

How does it work?

  • Data analysis

    The system analyses events from collection points, reverse vending machines and logistics processes in real time.

  • Verification of operations

    Each scan is checked against a central product database and the history of previous transactions.

  • Detection of irregularities

    Algorithms identify suspicious events, such as duplicate scans, incorrect EAN codes or unusual return patterns.

  • System response

    Suspicious transactions are automatically blocked or flagged for review by the security team.

  • Reporting and auditing

    All incidents are recorded, displayed on the central dashboard and made available in reports for the operator and the regulatory authorities.
