DEPLOY REVERSE VENDING MACHINES
AND ENHANCE THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.
With a Deposit Return Scheme
Retailers play the major role in collecting empty containers.
Why RVMs?
To collect containers efficiently and reimburse the deposit.
And How?
With Recyclever DRS-Mode
What does it mean? The RVM is aware of every drink container which is inside the DRS legislation scope, we do this by updating the database remotely every night. Upon return of the container, the machine check if the weight, material, shape, silhouette do match with what the barcode suggests. If Yes, the container is accepted and compacted, if No, the container is returned.
Without a Deposit Return Scheme
The circular economy can still be enhanced, by building a closed loop for selected drinks or keeping it open.
Why use RVMs?
To collect a selected range of or any empty container, reward users, stream advertisement and keeping it fun!
How?
With Recyclever AI-Mode
If you are building a closed-loop, the RVM will hold the database of barcodes and avoid fraud. If instead you allow to collect "any" bottle and can, then the Computer Vision takes over and decides if the inserted object will be accepted or refused.
What to collect?
Customisation is key with Recyclever! Program our Reverse Vending Machines to accept 'your products only', 'PET bottles and aluminum cans', or 'anything within DRS scope'. Your choice, your convenience.

Retailers and Convenience.
In DRS countries, retailers are mandated to collect containers under the scheme. Deploying RVMs is not just the most efficient, but also the most cost-effective solution for streamlined container collection.
The Benefits of Reverse Vending to Retailers.
Increases Customer Footfall:
Reverse vending provides a stand-alone reason for people to visit a Supermarket, DIY Store or other Retail Outlet. Increasingly people will be looking for specific plastic and aluminium recycling services, as the adverse damage to our environment becomes more evident.
Encourages Customer Loyalty:
The discount vouchers paid out in return for recycling your plastic drinks bottles and aluminium cans will encourage customers to return to the same retailer to redeem their vouchers.
Supports Retailer Commitment to
the Circular Economy:
Helps build and reinforce a retailers’ green credentials in the eyes of customers and investors. Shows a continuation in the trend to reduce the use of plastic carrier bags and single use plastics.
Promotion and Advertising Opportunities:
The large format integral screen provides a very visible advertising opportunity for the retailer to promote its own special offers and deals. Retailers could also sell the advertising space to their suppliers or high-profile brands, generating a further source of income.
Environmental Sustainability:
Retailers then have the opportunity to sell the plastic bottles and aluminium cans to specialist recycling companies creating another revenue stream and the knowledge that all the waste is being recycled professionally and not being sent to landfill.
Improved Efficiency:
Less waste at their site. Reduced cleaning costs as there are fewer bins to maintain and as recyclever® can compact the containers, they take up much less space.
The Benefits to Your Customers.
Gain Rewards for Recycling:
Reward your customers for recycling their containers either via monetary deposit returns or with special offers.
Quick, Easy and Convenient:
The machines will take around 40 bottles per minute, are located at easily accessible retail locations, where they are likely to be visiting anyway, so no special journeys required.
Supporting a Sustainable Future:
People are becoming more aware of the need to do something to minimise plastic waste and increasingly want to get involved. Media coverage is growing and this is being positioned as a global crisis putting pressure on everyone to find solutions like Reverse Vending.
Education.
Fuse education with environmental consciousness. Through interaction with RVMs, students enhance their understanding of the circular economy and contribute to waste reduction on your premises.
Education plays a very important part in raising awareness of the environmental issues impacting the future of our planet. From teachers imparting knowledge to students learning about waste management and recycling, Schools and Universities can support environmental concerns and help increase recycling and reusing waste products.
The Benefits of Reverse Vending to Schools, Colleges
and Universities.
Supports the Green Message:
A better environmental education for a better future. Every school, academy and university should lead the way as far as recycling concerns. The overall ‘education’ will always revolve on the future, which is based on sustainability and recycling.
High Tech Image:
Education and future go hand in hand with technology. Reverse vending machines are not a normal sight in the UK but they will become the norm and every educational body should embrace new technologies.
Encourage Healthy Competition:
Students competitive challenges to establish who recycles more. All collections can be traced with a fob, a fingerprint and all data will be visible via an IP address. Resulting in higher levels of recycling.
Advantage over other schools:
Being ahead of the game in environment and technology will deliver a better image for attracting more students.
A Cleaner Environment:
Students will use reverse vending machines to dispose of their drink containers, especially if a reward scheme or discount on future purchases are awarded for each deposit.
Reduced Cleaning Costs:
Undoubtedly, cleaning costs will reduce thanks to drinks containers not being discarded and not quickly filling up bins.
Sell more bottles from vending machines:
You can create your internal deposit return scheme: only the bottles and cans sold in the internal vending machines will be accepted by recyclever® collecting machines thanks to barcode and shape recognition, and this could lead to an internal reward system.
The Benefits of Reverse Vending to Students.
Raising Awareness:
Support better and reliable education around green issues and the importance of recycling materials.
Prepare Future Generations to a World of Sustainability:
Students and Graduates will bring this concept forward as it applies to everything. The concept is much wider than ‘recycling sustainability’ on its own, it is a way of life.
Local Authorities.
RVMs serve as a potent tool for local authorities to drive green initiatives, promote responsible recycling, and impart valuable education to individuals within their jurisdiction.
The UK local authorities are responsible for the provision of an extensive range of services such as education, strategic planning and waste management and therefore have a vested interest in improving recycling for everyone.
With the UK Government supporting deposit
returns schemes, recyclever® reverse vending machines offer the ideal solution.
The Benefits of Reverse Vending to Local Authorities.
Supporting Green Initiatives:
Clean council’s environment.
Encourages responsible recycling:
Increases quantity of waste collected and sent to be reused.
Reduced operational costs:
Less litter to be cleared.
Incentivise residents to recycle:
Possible connection to refuse collection fee.
Partnership with local retailers:
Cross incentives for citizens, and integration with the sustainability cycle.
Match and surpass residents expectations:
Raises their profile in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility and protecting the environment.
Transport Hubs.
Transport hubs witness a constant flow of thousands of commuters daily, resulting in substantial empty container accumulation. RVMs effectively curtail waste and enable responsible disposal, aligning with individual efforts to maintain cleanliness.
Train, bus and tram stations along with airports, ferry ports and rapid transit stations see hundreds of people pass through them every day. This large volume of commuters leads to hundreds of single use plastic bottles and aluminium cans disposed of at these transport hubs.
An ideal opportunity to reduce waste and retain a tidy environment is by installing reverse vending machines, allowing everyone the opportunity to deposit their empty containers responsibly even when they’re on the move.
The Benefits of Reverse Vending to Transport Hubs.
Corporate Social Responsibility:
Transport companies are constantly reviewing their environmental impact. Reverse vending machines fulfil the requirement of their corporate social responsibility, delivering a positive message to their customer.
Lower maintenance costs:
Compacting waste products and less litter to collect and dispose of.
Retaining high levels of cleanliness:
Large volume of commuters creating lots of drinks containers.
Improve Health & Safety::
Less litter to cause potential health and safety issues.
Stadiums and Events Venues.
Stadiums often generate significant waste during large events. Deploying RVMs can cut cleaning expenses and enhance visitor engagement. Opt for a closed loop (accepting on-site purchases only) or any-container approach to transform waste management and create a win-win solution.
Large events, venues and attractions all involve large numbers of people attending, all of which are hungry and thirsty customers.
Some organisers are now trying to turn to alternative methods of packaging visitors drinks, but wouldn’t it be easier to just use reverse vending machines to recycle the waste into something new and useful?

A recyclever reverse vending machine is perfect for offices and workplaces. They can complement existing vending machines, and help to keep the working environment clean and tidy. Reduce cleaning costs, and provide a clean and inviting environment for your teams.
The Benefits of Reverse Vending to Offices
and Workspaces.
Improved Health and Safety
Cleanness of a site is a crucial factor for health and safety. Drinks bottles and cans can become a hazard when they are left on the floor or discarded in racking or various other hidden places. Adopting reverse vending machines will help guarantee containers are all collected and compacted in a safe and clean location.
Sell more bottles from internal vending machines:
Our reverse vending machines have a barcode recognition system and can be programmed to collect only containers which have been sold by the installed vending machines. Loyalty vouchers can then be issued to create your own internal deposit return scheme.
Lower Operational Costs & Less Bins:
How quickly do your bins fill up and what’s the cost of emptying them? It is time consuming and expensive to dispose of refuse and often containers are piled up near bins. recyclever® reverse vending machines come with a compactor that optimises the volume, so less time spent disposing of full bins.
Clean Shop Floor:
Waste plastic bottles and aluminium drinks cans disposed of responsibly will lead the way to maximum efficiency.
Factories and Warehouses.
Factories and warehouses reap multiple advantages from RVMs, including litter prevention, enhanced health and safety, and bolstered environmental credibility. Moreover, RVMs offer the option to swiftly establish a closed loop between vending products and these automated return points, providing seamless sustainability integration.
