Envirobank’s vending machines give ‘cash for cans’ to promote recycling

This vending machine is a special one. Instead of giving you something to drink it will request you to give back the can so that it can be recycled. The Envirobank is a reverse vending machine which gives cash for cans. It can hold up to 3000 containers and accept PET, HDPE and PVC plastic, brown, clear and green glass and aluminum cans. When you give back these cans, you will get credits for discount shopping. Which of course means that these will be present in shopping malls, groceries and other retail areas. Plans are on, it will soon be out. Envirobank also says that their machines cut CO2 emissions, reduces waste disposal and collection costs and even provide advertising and fund raising opportunities.
