{"product_id":"deposit-return-machine-compact-reverse-vending-unit-cans-bottles","title":"Deposit Return Machine | Compact Reverse Vending Unit | Cans \u0026 Bottles | DRS","description":"\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA deposit return machine built for every store\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrom October 2027 shoppers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will pay a deposit on single-use drinks containers and will expect to hand them back in store. Most of the equipment built for that scheme is aimed at supermarkets: big, expensive, and far too large for a convenience store, pertrol station or garden centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis machine is the answer for everyone else. It takes up 0.37m2, weighs 17kg and sits on a counter, on its own cabinet or straight on top of a standard wheelie bin. The customer drops in their empty bottles and cans, the machine scans the barcode and weighs each one to stop misuse, and the container falls into a lined bin ready for collection. The reward goes back to the customer as a digital refund through the app or as a branded paper voucher with your name on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy buy now and get ahead of the game\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUntil the scheme (DRS) goes live you can run the machine as a reward and voucher scheme of your own. Customers bring their empties back to you, get a voucher to spend in store, and the machine starts earning before the first deposit is ever handed over. That is two years of extra footfall your competitors will not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere is a practical reason to move early as well. Every retailer selling drinks in scope needs a return point ready for launch, and stores under 100m2 in urban areas will need their exemption confirmed. Thousands of shops will be ordering the same kit in the same few months in 2027.
