Sainsbury’s Tests Reverse Vending Machine For Recycling
UK retailer Sainsbury’s is testing a reverse vending machine in its Lincoln Superstore which allows customers to return plastic bottles for recycling.
The machine accepts bottles of up to 3 litres in capacity and drinks cans bought from Sainsbury’s.
Customers can deposit up to 500 items per head in exchange for 5p coupons per item.
The coupons can be redeemed against shopping bills, and will result in a maximum saving of £25 (€28.05).
The trial is Sainsbury’s latest step after its recent decision to remove plastic bags for loose fruit, vegetables, and bakery items.
