    We’ve heard of Dr Pepper’s plans to set up eco-friendly vending machines around. The Japanese have been looking around for and using greener vending machines too lately. Topping the list of green vending machine initiatives taken is Cola-Cola Japan, who has come up with some pretty sweet prototypes that might soon replace the old existing ones. The I-LOHAS and Plant Bottle are green packaging that Coke has adopted. The latest vending machine, ecoru/solar, by Coke looks like one you’d probably find in an alien airship, with solar panels on the top. The company will install 1,500 units of these around the country.


    Besides Coke, Fuji Electric came up with the E3 machine, powered by the sun and insulates in winter by growing moss. In collaboration with Coca-Cola, Fuji came up with the e-40 machine, which uses 40% lesser energy. Dydo and Pokka have thought green too, with a part of sales going to green dreams and schemes. Vending machines going green for an eco-friendly thirst quencher.
