What is a reverse vending machine?
A Reverse Vending Machine, also referred to as a RVM, is a Collection Point for consumers to return their Empty Containers. The machine, unlike a bin, selectively accepts or refuses containers depending on how the software is set up in conjunction to the onboard sensors. The users experience ends with a reward for returning the containers in the form of a printed redeemable voucher or an option to donate to a charity. By tracking the returned containers and rewarding users, adopting a reverse vending machine dramatically increases the percentage of containers that remain in the circular loop of recycled materials.
