Abstract
An information processing device predicts amounts of batteries to be recycled that are expected to be emitted over a predetermined period in each area. The information processing device determines whether there is a first recycling facility in which the amount of batteries to be recycled that are expected to be emitted over a predetermined period in the corresponding area is predicted to exceed the battery recycling capacity of the recycling facility. When determination is made that there is the first recycling facility, the information processing device identifies one or more second recycling facilities that are able to additionally recycle the batteries to be emitted that are expected to be emitted over the predetermined period in a first area corresponding to the first recycling facility and that are in excess of the battery recycling capacity of the first recycling facility.
