Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) are designed to automate the collection and identification of used beverage containers, issuing a refund receipt or money (Smart Cards and loyalty cards maybe be used).
The used beverage containers (cans and/or bottles ) are collected, sorted and reduced in volume. Once a customer deposits a used container, the machine sorts it and compresses, reading a container's barcode to determine the type of material. Capacity varies per model, but stand alone machines hold 500-700 cans and/or PET bottles before needing to be emptied.
