Can this machine pay cash to the user instead of points [then they have redeem at particular venue]? Coz people will prefer cash back instantly. Can this machine be use in other countries, like Malaysia? Thank you.

Does anyone have any idea how to get one of these? I work for a large health care company and I think that these could assist with recycling efforts.

Isn’t it better than just forget about what will happen to the bottles/cans ? Points or cash , ounce they are “friendlier” looking ,& designed, why not even have a little one at home ?

This is not exciting at all. I remember using recycling vending machines to collect bottle and can deposits as early as the 1980s, in NYC at least … and I noticed similar machines still in use in Westchester Co. during my last visit. Maybe Pepsi should lobby other states to introduce similar deposit programs.

Don\\\\\\\’t you guys have paid recycling yet? In Norway we\\\\\\\’ve had this for longer than I can remember. We get 1nkr for a 0.5l bottle, and 2.50 for a 1.5l bottle (this translates to 16¢ and 42¢). The value is a bit outdated, yet we are still some of the best at recycling plastic.

Check out http://www.tomra.com/ (as they are the makers of your reverse vendors).

Hi Guys,

Great Idea,

We have two Reverse Vending Machines on Campus look here >> http://www.reversevending.co.uk/education.php

We save loads of money each year and spend our vouchers in the Campus canteen on Heathy Drinks.

In Sweden/Denmark/Finland/Germany you get money for every can or bottle like Michigan in the States

Luv Dawn,
P.S. keep up the great work inhabitat.com

Of course, with Michigan’s bottle and can deposits, we’ve had machines like this in every grocery store for years, now. And those are worth 10 cents each, rather than just points for prizes.

I work for a Strong Vend a vending machine supplier in the UK and this looks like a really cool idea. Hopefully they are succeful and they will expand to the UK. I will be keeping a close eye on how this progresses.

No. this is NOT cool at all. This is another way for Pepsi to justify selling plastic soda bottles. It will make people think it\’s ok to buy Pepsi as long as they can recycle! Another marketing gimmick! Total greenwashing.
