A Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) scans, crushes and sorts empty beverage containers in exchange for a digital reward. Consumers return as many empty cans or bottles as they please, scan a QR Code, and fill in their info on a webpage that instantly tells them what they have won for recycling. Learn more about how Cycle can increase your sustainability and engagement at stadiums, campuses, events and more.

The more bottles or cans that a consumer recycles at our RVMs, the more chances that individual gets to win rewards. Consumers can earn anything from tickets to a future sports game, discounts to local businesses, to a signed jersey. The more containers recycled by an individual, the higher chances they earn through leaderboards, competitions or randomized rewards.

The RVMs are IOT enabled and will notify on-site facilities staff by SMS or email that the RVM is full or reaching full. The bottom compartment of the RVM is opened, full bags are removed, and new bags are replaced in the bin. RTS offers live monitoring and support for any RVM malfunctions. Our RVMs notify on-site staff of how to fix any type of malfunction with the RVM.

The RVM instantaneously determines if what is placed in the RVM is recyclable or not through a combination of sensors and lasers. The RVM will show a prompt on the screen to “Please Remove” the item if a non-recyclable item is placed in the machine.

A waste audit is a critical process that involves the collection and assessment of waste bags from different areas within a business. Its primary purpose is to create a comprehensive material profile of the waste generated. Our hands-on examination of waste streams is essential for gaining valuable insights into your organization’s true diversion rate and for formulating effective strategies to minimize and divert waste away from landfills.

To help you achieve your waste reduction goals, it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of your current waste generation practices. Our waste audit serves as the initial benchmark for this assessment. After the implementation of our recommendations, we conduct follow-up audits to measure the impact the programs have had on your waste management practices. This iterative approach ensures that we continue to make progress toward reducing waste and promoting sustainable waste management within your business.
