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.

The urgent need for automated recycling

Traditional recycling methods currently capture only 20–25% of PET and aluminium beverage containers through the correct channels, resulting in 75–80% still ending up in landfills. This inefficiency contributes to millions of plastic bottles and cans polluting our landfills and oceans every year.

With the UK's upcoming Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) and EU Directives setting a target of a 90% positive recycled rate by 2029, organisations must adapt to meet new recycling regulations and address rising consumer expectations for sustainability.

3 reasons for taking action today

  • Prepare for the Deposit Return Scheme to avoid fines and legal repercussions. Implementing reverse vending machines ensures your organisation meets upcoming legislative requirements seamlessly.

  • Contribute to the Circular Economy by significantly increasing recycling rates. Demonstrate your commitment to corporate sustainability and reduce your environmental footprint.

  • Enhance your brand image and attract eco-conscious customers. Stand out from competitors by embracing innovative recycling solutions that showcase your leadership in sustainability initiatives.

How Reverse Vending Machines Work

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.

Reverse vending explained in 3 easy steps:

Insert Containers. Customers deposit empty beverage containers—such as plastic bottles, aluminium cans, and glass jars—into the machine's chute.

Automatic Processing. The RVM scans the barcode, verifies the shape and material, and compacts the containers for efficient recycling.

Receive Rewards. Customers receive rewards like vouchers, discounts, digital credits, or charity donations, encouraging higher recycling participation.

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.
