Smarter vending for a greener planet

Is your organisation ready for the UK's Deposit Return Scheme?

At Regen Enviro, we provide state-of-the-art reverse vending machines that make automated recycling seamless. Equip your organisation to comply with the UK's upcoming DRS legislation, enhance your corporate sustainability initiatives, and stay ahead of the competition.

Why choose Reverse Vending?

Over 85 million drinks containers are used every day in the UK. Most aren’t recycled.
Too many end up in bins, parks, rivers, or oceans—where they do lasting damage. But that’s changing.

With the UK’s Deposit Return Scheme on the way, businesses are under pressure to take action. Customers are demanding better. And organisations that act now won’t just comply with new rules—they’ll lead the way.

Why you should take action now

  • Demonstrate your environmental commitment. Strengthen your CSR credentials and show customers, partners, and investors that you're part of the solution.

  • The Deposit Return Scheme is coming. Installing reverse vending machines now ensures you're compliant—without the rush, risk, or fines.

  • Reward-based recycling gives people a reason to take part. It drives repeat visits, builds brand loyalty, and positions you as a forward-thinking business.

  • Capture more recyclable materials, reduce landfill costs, and shrink your carbon footprint—all with one simple system.

  • Help keep bottles and cans out of nature. Support national recycling targets and make visible progress toward a circular economy.

What is a Reverse Vending Machine?

Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) are advanced automated recycling solutions that enable the public to deposit empty, single-use beverage containers in exchange for rewards such as vouchers, discounts, credits, or charity donations.

These reverse vending machines play a pivotal role in areas implementing Deposit Return Schemes (DRS), helping businesses comply with recycling regulations and enhance their corporate sustainability initiatives.

Reverse Vending Machines are ideal for retail and commercial spaces, public venues, institutional venues, and entertainment and leisure facilities. RVMs not only boost recycling rates but also engage customers and promote a circular economy.

How Reverse Vending Machines Work

Step 1 - Deposit

Customers return empty drinks containers to a reverse vending machine.

Step 2 - Identify

The machine scans each barcode, checks the item, and sorts it for recycling.

Step 3 - Compact

Containers are crushed to save space and reduce collections.

Step 4 - Reward

Customers get their deposit back or receive a reward for recycling.

RVM CASE STUDY

Owned by the Zoological Society (ZSL), ZSL London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo are dedicated to wildlife conservation and sustainability, making the elimination of plastic waste a critical initiative.

Despite discontinuing the sale of plastic bottled drinks years ago, ZSL faced the ongoing challenge of managing plastic waste generated by visitors bringing their own containers, which threatened to compromise their sustainability standards and compliance with environmental regulations.

To overcome this they installed the RVM 400 Reverse Vending Machines at both zoos, enabling visitors to effortlessly recycle their empty beverage containers in exchange for rewards such as vouchers, discounts, credits, or charity donations.

This implementation not only significantly boosted recycling rates but also enhanced visitor engagement and reinforced ZSL's commitment to a circular economy and corporate sustainability.
