Reverse Vending

By Piers Fawkes on October 4, 2006

There have been quite a few articles about the rise of vending machines selling us stuff – but what do we do with the cans and bottles after we’ve consumed the stuff? We stick it back in the machine! Thanks to a nice spot by Springwise, let us introduce Reverse Vending – a vending machine that recycles for you. This machine here can take up to 1000 cans and bottles, recognise the materials of each one using barcode scanning and can crush ‘em all up.
