Ecovend’s next-generation reverse vending machines (RVM) are designed for people to deposit their empty single-use beverage containers in return for vouchers to spend in store.

As a simple and effective solution to prevent waste from polluting lands and oceans, the machines can collect, sort, compact and store plastic bottles, aluminium cans and glass bottles – ready for onward recycling.

The new RVM400 model features a voice and touchless operation, and a large screen for advertising.
