The present invention relates to systems and method for monetization of recyclable plastics. Such systems includes a receptacle for receiving fungitized plastics, such as plastic ingots. The fungitized plastic can have a standardized form with a known value that is readily exchangeable for credit, discounts, or currency. Sensors are capable of identifying the fungitized plastic as substantially comporting to the standardized form, thereby confirming the plastic's composition, and weight/size in order to facilitate sorting and proper crediting for its value. The sensors can also identify fungitized plastics that do not match these standards, which are considered counterfeits and are returned to the user. A sorter collects all the identified fungitized plastic of a particular composition together with other plastic of similar composition. Similarly, a crediting system may reward the user for depositing the identified fungitized plastic. The reward may include printing out promotions or vouchers, credits applied to a debit or credit card via a magnetic card reader, applying credit via a mobile phone application, or an account linked to the user credited with currency or points.
